In this lesson, we continue exploring "go verbs" — verbs that have an irregular yo form ending in -go but are otherwise regular (or nearly regular) in their other present tense forms. The verbs hacer, poner, and salir are all essential for everyday communication, and we will also look at several more -go verbs: traer, decir, and oir.
