The present subjunctive is a tense which has many irregular forms.
In general, a verb is irregular at the present subjunctive if it is irregular at the present indicative.
The irregular present subjunctive forms normally correspond to those of the irregular present indicative.

Examples:
"Io dico (indicative) ---> Io dica (subjunctive)."
The verb Dre

"Io faccio (indicative) ---> Io faccia (subjunctive)."
The verb Fare

"Io vengo (indicative) ---> Io venga (subjunctive)."
The verb Venire

Note:
At times, the present subjunctive and the present indicative of an irregular verb are different.

Example:
"Io so (indicative) ---> io sappia (subjunctive)."
The verb sapere
