We begin from the first-person singular in the present, i.e. โyo duermoโ, and we extract the stem โduerm-โ.
Then, the appropritae suffix is added for verbs with an "-ir" ending.

It is important that you remember to use the stem from the first-person singular in the present, not the stem from the infinitive. This is especially important with verbs irregular in the first person present. In this example, use the stem from โyo duermoโ, that is "duerm-".
Notice that โdormirโ changes the conjugation stem in the โnosotros/-asโ and โvosotros/-asโ forms.
Because we start the conjugation from the stem of the โyoโ form of the present indicative, the present subjunctive carries over the same stem change:ย โoโ to โueโ. To form the present subjunctive, the โnosotros/-asโ and โvosotros/-asโ forms use the stem after removing these changes. Sometimes a slight change is applied, such as using the stem โdurm-โ instead of โdorm-โ with the verb โdormirโ.
