Answer 1

To conjugate the verbs "pedir" (to ask for/request) and "servir" (to serve) in the present tense, you need to recognize that both are stem-changing verbs. For "pedir," the stem changes from "e" to "i" in all forms except for the nosotros and vosotros forms. For example, the conjugation for "yo" is "pido," for "tú" is "pides," and for "él/ella/usted" is "pide." Similarly, "servir" also changes from "e" to "i," so "yo" becomes "sirvo," "tú" is "sirves," and "él/ella/usted" becomes "sirve."
