Most common set of verb forms with vos
Since vos came from a different form of the verb than tú it is not surprising to see that the vos form of the verb often (although not always) uses a different form of the verb than the tú.
If you remember your vosotros endings of the present
tense you will assume that the endings evolve to "áis" "éis"
and "ís", however the most common system of vos endings in
the present tense is the following.

Stem changes such as o to ue, e to ie, e to i, do not occur. For certain one syllable verbs and estar, there is no difference between the tú form and the vos form (since one syllable words do not usually take accents).

vos command. That form is simply the infinitive without the r and
with the vowel of the infinitve ending stressed with a written accent if
it's more than one syllable or would otherwise need an accent.
