Many verbs have a stem change in the boot, which you'll see below, going from e to ie, and o to ue in the present tense.
Recomendar - to recommend
recomiendo recomendamos
recomiendas
recomienda recomiendan
*Note that the highlighted verbs form the mild shape of a boot, thus the name boot verbs. It is only inside this boot that the verb stem changes, as in, not in the nosotros form.
**Recomendar is an e to ie verb.
Mostrar - to show
muestro mostramos
muestras
muestra muestran
*Mostrar is an o to ue verb
Other spanish verbss have stems that alternate between e and i, such as competir, to compete; pedir, to ask for; repetir, to repeat; and servir, to serve.
Servir - to serve
sirvo servimos
sirves
sirve sirven
The last type of stem changing verbs is u to ue.
Jugar - to play
