Add a "Y" not replace an "I" ??

Hello, this lesson states that "Notice how for these verbs, -i- becomes -y- in all forms."

But I think that it is more correct to say that "a Y is added to the stem in all forms". Huir is an IR verb, so it's stem is HU, you aren't replacing an I.

Have I understood the lesson correctly?

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Spanish -uir verbs in the present subjunctive (El Presente de Subjuntivo)"

Hola Paul,

thanks for letting us know. You are right, it is not replacing, it is being added. That has been re-worded in the lesson.
