¡Hola! I was recently going through old video tapes I have and found the raw video of the preterite irregulars song. I have long wanted to fix the sound coming out of one place and also reduce the hissing (s noise) in the sound. And why not make the text a little easier to read!?
Hola. In this video, we’re going to be going over the ONLY three irregular verbs in the imperfect tense: ser, ir, and ver in order to talk about what a person did, used to do, or would do in the past.
In the video, I’ll give you an easy formula to remember those endings to a familiar melody!
Enjoy and please leave any questions or comments below!
Hola. In this video lesson, we’ll be talking about negative tú commands. I would love to tell you that these are just like affirmative tú commands except for with a no before. But I would be lying.
Hola. In this video lesson we’re going to continue talking about the affirmative tú commands. While most of the verbs are pretty easy (as we saw in the first video on this topic), of course there have to be some irregular commands. And the best part is they are all some of the most common Spanish verbs!
Hola. In this video lesson, we’ll be tackling one of my favorites: the conditional. The conditional is generally used to mean “would”. While some refer to it as a tense, it is really a mood. It is often used when talking about abstract concepts, unlikely things, or the impossible. It’s formed in a similar way as the future tense. In this video we’ll be going over the regular verbs as well as the irregular verbs in this tense.
Enjoy!
Please leave any comments, questions or your own answer to the last question below! 🙂
To help you with remembering quite of few of those irregular verbs, I’ll share a song I learned back in high school! This song is also on page 2 of the preterite conjugation sheet.
This song helps you remember the yo forms of some of the common irregular verbs in the preterite. If it sounds familiar that is because it is to the tune of ‘La cucaracha‘.
HD version with newer titles:
*Note* in this video on a verb chart, the él / ella / usted form should not have an accent on “ió” and should read “io” since “vio” and “dio” do not have accents.
This video lesson covers three more irregular verbs in the preterite. They are traer (to bring), traducir (to translate) and conducir (to drive). They are all lumped together because they follow similar patterns and are similar to decir in the preterite. Enjoy!
Feel free to leave questions, comments or suggestions below this video.
This video lesson covers venir (to come). Venir is of course another irregular verb in the preterite. In this video, I also mention that whenever a verb has any irregular inside of it due to a prefix, the verb follow the pattern of the irregular.
Ex: suponer, mantener, detener, prevenir, etc
Enjoy!
