Where dar breaks the pattern
- doy. The yo form of the present ends in -oy, like soy, estoy and voy.
- di, dio. The preterite takes the endings of -er and -ir verbs: di, dio, dieron. The imperfect subjunctive is built on it: diera.
- dé. The written accent tells it apart from the word de.
Vos and vosotros
| vos das, da | Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and much of Central America. The other tenses use the tú form. |
|---|---|
| vosotros dais, dad | Spain. Latin America says ustedes dan. |
