PRETERITE OR IMPERFECT IN JUST TWO SIMPLE STEPS
Jan 11th
Hi Everyone,
This is a simple yet very practical video I created by request of many of my subscribers. In this video I will share with you a very simple rule I have used with my Spanish students to help them choose easily either the Preterite or the Imperfect according to the situation. You will be surprised how something so simple will help you understand the subtle differences in use between these two Past Tenses.
If you would like me to create a video for any specific problem you have, please subscribe to my channel and let me know and I will see what I can do for you.

02 Spanish Lesson – Preterite – Irregulars – Song!
Jan 5th
This video lesson covers a song that I learned back as a high school Spanish student. It teaches you the ‘yo’ form of many of the irregulars verbs.
Although I didn’t mention it as being part of the lyrics in the video, these irregulars do not have any accent marks when written.
Lyrics:
tener es tuve; estar estuve
ir es fui y también ser
poner es puse; poder es pude
traje es para traer
hacer hice; haber hube;
saber supe; querer quise;
decir dije; venir vine;
ver vi; dar di;
no acentos
I didn’t write it. It’s pretty awesome though.

Let me know if you have questions, comments, suggestions or would like to share if you have a special way of remembering the irregulars in the preterite.
