2 Curso – Stem-changing Verbs

Stem Changing Verbs

These verbs can be challenging for students as there are a lot of them and there’s no real way of knowing which verbs take stem-changes and which don’t. What is required is lots of regular practice to drill them to memory.

*** Remember The Boot with stem-changing verbs. ***

Verbs with an O -> UE change

Verbs with an E -> IE change

Verbs with an E -> I change

3 Curso – Preterite v Imperfect

We’ve seen how that Spanish unlike English uses two past tense. The Indefinido for single events in the past that have been considered completed at  a specific time, whereas the Imperfecto is used to describe events in the past in a ‘continuous‘ sense, that is to speak of things that were ‘happening‘ or that we ‘used to’ do.

Think of our Timeline here with the Indefinido representing the X’s, the single events, that occurred on the timeline and the Imperfect as being the continuous line that runs the length of the timeline, with no specific time being referred to.

Click the following links (in order) to review the uses of each and then practice them:
