In this group, the irregular vowel is «O», that Will change to «UE».

YO dormo, tú dormes, él dorme…

Yo duermo, tú duermes, él duerme…

Other verbs of this group

Encontrar (to find), volar (to fly), poder (to be able to)…

Refresh your mind:

• If it’s a verbo of two sílabas (DORMIR: dor-mir), the irregularity is in the first «o».
• If it’s a verbo of three or more sílabas (ENCONTRAR: en-con-trar), the iregularity is in the second «o».

Basic tip and universal rule

Ah, and remember this basic tip: «nosotros» and «vosotros» never change, so these personal pronouns are ALWAYS regular (nosotros DORMIMOS and vosotros DORMÍS).
