Questions & Answers about ¿Entendéis el problema?
Wait, isn't entender a stem-changing verb (e → ie)? Why is it entend1is instead of entiend1is?
Great catch! Entender is a stem-changing verb (for example: yo entiendo, tú entiendes). However, stem-changing verbs never change their stem in the nosotros/nosotras (we) and vosotros/vosotras (you plural) forms. Because of this rule, the "e" stays exactly as it is in the original dictionary form, giving us entendéis.
Who is this sentence talking to?
Why does entendéis have an accent mark on the "e"?
In the present tense, the vosotros/vosotras form for verbs ending in -er always ends in -éis with an accent mark over the "e". This accent shows you exactly where to put the stress when you say the word out loud: en-ten-DÉIS.
Why is it el problema when the word ends in "a"? Shouldn't it be la problema?
