Sentir Commands Practice

Sentir (to feel, to be sorry) in the commands: 14 free exercises with an explanation after every answer, plus the full conjugation table.

14 exercisesStem-changing e→ieB1 – B2 level
IWhat to watch for

Sentir is an -ir stem-changing verb, which means it changes twice in the imperative. Where the stress falls on the stem you get ie: siente, no sientas, sienta, sientan. Where it moves to the ending, the e weakens all the way to i: sintamos, not sentamos and not sintemos.

That nosotros form is what separates -ir verbs like sentir, dormir and pedir from -ar and -er ones. Compare pensemos (plain e) with sintamos (i): same position in the table, different vowel, because the verb ends in -ir.
