Frequent doubts

Which verbs are completely irregular in the subjunctive?

Dar (dé), estar (esté), haber (haya), ir (vaya), saber (sepa), ser (sea) and ver (vea).

Why does dé have a written accent?

To distinguish it from the preposition de: Quiero que me dé el libro. The other forms (des, demos, den) have no accent.

Is vea really irregular?

Only partly: ver keeps the e of its stem (veo → vea), so some grammars call it regular. It is usually taught with this group.
