¡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!?
Here’s a little video to help you with all of the -ER verb endings in the present tense in Spanish! It explains how to remove the –ER from the end of the verb and then add the endings. And hopefully it gets stuck in your head due to its catchiness!
Hola. In this video, we’re going to be tackling those -ER & -IR verbs in the imperfect tense 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!
As we continue talking about the present subjunctive, we find that there is a useful acronym: WEIRDOS, which can helps us remember many of the instances where we will need the present subjunctive.
In this lesson, we’re going to go over the W in WEIRDOS, which stands for Wishes, desires and imperatives. So check out the video and practice afterwards to check your understanding!
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.
