Understanding the Spanish Verb "Jugar" for Sports and Games

In Spanish, the verb "jugar" is essential for discussing playing sports or games. Unlike regular -ar verbs, "jugar" undergoes a stem change in some forms (the -u- changes to -ue-), classifying it as a "stem-changing verb." Here are its present tense forms: Yo juego, Tú juegas, Ud./Él/Ella juega, Nosotros jugamos, Vosotros jugáis, Uds./Ellos/Ellas juegan. It's common to use "jugar a" followed by the sport's name, e.g., "¿Juegas al vóleibol?" or simply "¿Juegas vóleibol?"
