Meet the “volver” verb family. A classic stem changer (o --> ue)
Presente: vuelvo/vuelves/vuelve/volvemos/vuelven
Preterito: volví/volviste/volvió/volvimos/volvieron
present participle = volviendo
past participle= vuelto
And now the members:
devolver – to return (something) / to give back
envolver – to wrap / to envelop
revolver – to stir / to stir up / revolve
revuelto — scrambled. Huevos revueltos — scrambled eggs
la vuelta — the turn, revolution
a la vuelta — around the corner
envuelto — wrapped, involved, implicated
el vuelto -- the (pocket) change (think money that comes back to you)
DO NOT CONFUSE devolver (to return (something)) with regresar (to return, as in someone returns). They are both very different, even though English uses the same word for both.
