Key changes:
- Present yo: salgo.
- Present subjunctive base: salg- (salga, salgamos...).
- Future/conditional stem: saldr- (saldré, saldría...).
- Imperative tú: sal.
Technical explanation
Model for compounds of salir (especially sobresalir):
- g insertion in 1st person singular present indicative and in present subjunctive forms:
salgo, salga; compound forms: sobresalgo, sobresalga.
- Future and conditional use an irregular stem:
saldré, saldría; compounds: sobresaldré, sobresaldría.
- Preterite and its derived simple subjunctives keep regular -ir endings:
salí, saliste, salió...; saliera / saliere.
- Imperative:
sal (tú), salga, salgamos, salid, salgan.
Compounds keep the same pattern (sobresal, sobresalga...).
- Past participle remains regular:
salido; compounds: sobresalido.
Teaching sequence (Spain): salgo -> salí -> saldré -> salga -> salido.
Examples
- Hoy salgo tarde del trabajo.
- Espero que no salgas sin avisar.
- Ese alumno sobresale en pronunciación.
