A number of verbs are called very irregular in the Spanish present tense because they don’t follow any fixed pattern in their conjugation. Verbs like ser (to be), ir (to go) or haber (to have) fall within this category.
Others have more than one irregularity, like tener (to have) decir (to say) venir (to come) or oĂr (to hear).
Finally, there are two that have some peculiarities like oler (to smell) that is conjugated like the stem-changing verbs but has an extra funny “h” in its conjugation or the verb estar (to be) that could be just an irregular verb in the first person except for the extra orthographic accent.
