Lesson outcome

I can use a range of present and preterite tense -ar verbs in the 1st person singular (‘I’) and plural (‘we’) to describe fundraising for charity.

Show transcript
Colombia is a country in the northwest of Latin America; its capital city is Bogotá. For -ar verbs, the 1st person singular ('I') preterite tense ending is -é, e.g. 'recaudé fondos' - 'I collected money'. For -ar verbs ending in -car, the 1st person singular ending is -qué and for those ending in -gar, the ending is -gué. The 1st person plural ('we') ending -amos is the same in the present and preterite tense. Time adverbs like 'normalmente' ('normally') or 'ayer' ('yesterday') help distinguish between past and present.
