Seguir is an irregular -ir verb in Spanish — the forms that break the pattern are explained in the grammar notes below.
Practice seguir free →Seguir means 'to follow' and 'to continue', and it is a stem-changing verb with a spelling twist. The e becomes i in the present (sigo, sigues, sigue), and the gu drops its u before o to keep the hard sound. The most useful pattern is seguir + gerund, meaning to keep on doing something (sigo estudiando). It also gives directions (sigue todo recto) and means to follow someone, including online. Because it expresses ongoing action so neatly, seguir + gerund is worth having ready.
