Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Regular -er/-ir verbs: 1st, 2nd, 3rd person singular PAST preterite (-í, iste & -ió).
- Some -er and -ir verbs whose stem ends in a vowel add an extra 'y' in 3rd person singular forms in the preterite tense.
- When forming questions including a preposition, place the preposition at the beginning of the sentence.
Common misconception
The ending -ió is always used with -er and -ir verbs to refer to she, he or it in the preterite tense.
For -er and -ir verbs whose stem ends in a vowel, add -yó to refer to 'he', 'she' or 'it in the preterite tense.
