Hola. In this video lesson, we’re going to cover the verb querer (to want).

Notice that in this video I only really discuss the verb meaning ‘to want’ but it could also be used as ‘to love’ with people and pets.

ex:
Juan quiere a sus padres. – Juan loves his parents.
Ellos quieren a sus gatos. - They love their cats.
(Yo) Te quiero. – I love you.

02 Preterite – Irregulars – Querer

This video lesson covers another irregular verb in the preterite: querer (to want). Although this verb normally is used as ‘want’ but when used with people, it can carry the idea of ‘love’ or ‘care about’.
Ex:
Yo quiero un sándwich. I want a sandwich.
Yo quiero a mi madre. I love my mother.

In the preterite it will be ‘wanted’ or ‘loved’, but also carries another meaning that we’ll go over in a later video.

Enjoy!
