Show transcript
Regular review of vocabulary moves it into long-term memory. We only roll the 'r' when it's written as [rr] or when the [r] is at the beginning of a word. The preterite tense is used to talk about events completed in the past. To mean ‘I’, remove -er/-ir and add -í, e.g. 'leer' - 'leí', 'vivir' - 'viví'. To mean ‘you’, remove -er/-ir and add -iste, e.g. 'leer' - 'leiste', 'vivir' - 'viviste'.
