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!
