Explanation

Oír mixes a -go form with y-forms: oigo, oyes, oye, oímos, oís, oyen. Reír compresses everything onto the stressed í: río, ríes, ríe, reímos, reís, ríen (sonreír and freír follow it).

Saber and caber have one-off yo forms: sé, quepo (the rest is regular: sabes, cabes). Ver keeps an extra e: veo, ves... veis. Dar takes -oy: doy, das, dan.

These yo forms drive the subjunctive as usual — oiga, ría, vea, quepa — except saber and dar, which have their own subjunctives: sepa, dé.
