Spanish Lesson - Preterite - Stem-changers (e-i)

This video lesson covers verbs that stem change (e-i) and (e-ie) in the yo, tú, él, ella, usted, ellos, ellas, and ustedes forms in the present but do something a little different in the preterite. It's a little longer than I was hoping but, enjoy!

*Correction*
Although servir is mentioned as an (e-ie) verb, it IS an (e-i) verb.
