Irregular preterit
VERBS-that end with -car, -gar, or -zar
"pirate verbs"
Preterite Pirate Rap
We’re rocking out in Spanish, Boo
Conjugating verb that’s what we do
We’ve talking about the present
but now we’re in the past
I gotta sort this out and
learn these endings fast
é
aste
ó Repeat 4 times
amos
aron
Don’t forget the accents, Bro!
On él ,ella, usted and yo
Stems don’t change in –ar verbs
Learn this stuff don’t be a nerd.
Watch out for the pirates
they’ll get you every time
but only in the yo form
that ending is mine
-car, -gar, -zar have orthographic changes
Means the spelling differs
But the sound remains as is
-car gets a Q – u –é, Q-u-é
-gar get a G-u-é, G-u-é
-zar gets a c-é, c-é
Just for me

weird verbs in the preterit
|
|
tener es tuve; estar estuve
ir es fui y también ser
poner es puse; poder es pude
traje es para traer
hacer hice; haber hube*;
saber supe; querer quise;
decir dije; venir vine;
ver vi; dar di;
no acentos
*Note: the yo form of haber "hube" is hardly (or maybe never) used:
use "hubo" to mean "there was/there were" the same way that
"hay" is used in present tense to mean "there is/there are")
