Answer 2

Because hablar is a regular verb and ends in -ar, you use the vowel -e. that means that the 3rd person Indicative "habla" shifts to "hable."

When you get to regular -er and -ir verbs, they shift to vowel "a.". escribir is now escriba and escuchar is escuche.

I often referred to this as "the opposite vowel" since "a" shifts to "e" and "e" shifts to "a."
