Help with some preterite verbs!
My teacher taught me some mnemonic devices to help me remember the stems for some verbs in the preterite: querer, poner, saber, poder.
poder - “He could eat pud-ding.” saber - “He found out was-sup.” (saber also means to find out in the preterite tense) poner - “He put the pus on the bus.” (slightly disgusting, but it works) querer - “First you ‘quer’ and then you ‘kiss’.” (pronounce 'kiss' like 'quis' [kees] and pronounce 'quer' like 'care') If anyone has any more mnemonics for preterite verbs, just let me know! |
Very useful mnemonics!
First you ‘quer’ and then you ‘quis’ (wouldn't need explaining) |
You're welcome!

My spanish teacher is a genius when it comes to teaching things that are hard to remember. She gives us mnemonics, hand gestures, even a few chants. ("Adjectives must agree-e-e-e-e... in gender and in number-r-r-r-r-r") I swear, we sound like a cult half the time, but it sure works! |
Me gusta, los verbos del preterite son muy difícil
