3 -ar verbs Endings for -ar verbs -é -amos -aste -asteis -ó -aron

5 Translation into English lavar – to wash

6 The –car, -gar, -zar verbs Irregulars of -ar verbs
-ar verbs ending in –car, -gar, -zar have an irregularity It affects the first person singular only. Reason: In Spanish the letter c and g are soft in front of an e. A hard pronunciation is needed. Also, the letter z does not exist in front of an e in Spanish.

7 therefore….The irregularity in the “yo” form is:
For –car verbs the ending would be -qué. Example: tocar – toqué (not tocé) For –gar verbs the ending would be -gué. Example: jugar – jugué (not jugé) For –zar verbs the ending would be -cé. Example: empezar-empecé (not empezé)

8 tocar – to play toqué tocaste tocó tocamos tocasteis tocaron
Yo __________ la guitarra y Juan la __________ también. Yo toqué la guitarra y Juan la tocó también.

9 apagar – to turn off apagué apagaste apagó apagamos apagasteis

14 escribir – to write escribí escribiste escribió escribimos
escribisteis escribieron Yo escribí en español. I wrote in Spanish The endings are the same as –er verbs í imos iste isteis ió ieron

15 Present tense –ir stem-changers (boot verbs) also have a stem-change in the preterite tense.
The change is a little different. In the preterite they are called the “Sandal Verbs”

16 dormir(ue,u) – to sleep dormí dormiste durmió dormimos dormisteis
durmieron Ella no durmió bien anoche. She did not sleep well last night. The “o” changes to “u” in the 3rd persons only.

17 When you look up stem-changing verbs in the dictionary, for example:
dormir (ue,u) present tense “boot” stem-change / preterite tense “sandal” stem-change

18 dormir (ue,u) The “ue” refers to the stem-change in the present tense.
duermo duermes duerme dormimos dormís duermen Remember the forms that have the stem-change in the present tense form the boot shape. These are the “boot verbs”. ¿Duermes mucho? Do you sleep a lot?

19 dormí dormiste durmió dormimos dormisteis durmieron
dormir (ue,u) The “u” refers to the stem-change in the preterite tense. dormí dormiste durmió dormimos dormisteis durmieron The forms that have the stem-change in the preterite tense form more of a “sandal” shape. These are the “sandal verbs”.

20 REMEMBER!! Present Tense – Boot Verbs / Preterite Tense – Sandal Verbs
dormir (ue, u) pedir (i, i) preferir (ie, i) mentir (ie, i) repetir (i, i) sentir (ie, i) We have already learned the Boot Verbs when we learned the present tense. This lección, we are learning the Preterite Sandal Verbs.

21 pedir(i,i) – to request, ask for
pediste pidió pedimos pedisteis pidieron Ud. pidió la ensalada. You ordered the salad. The “e” changes to “i” in the 3rd persons only.

22 preferir (ie, i) – to prefer
preferiste prefirió preferimos preferisteis prefirieron Uds. prefirieron español. You prefered Spanish. The “e” changes to “i” in the 3rd persons only.

23 Just follow the same pattern for any other –ir stem-changers you come upon. Just look for the second vowel after the infinitive: sentir(ie,i) By the way, there are only –ir sandal verbs. -ar or –er verbs do not stem change in the preterite.

24 –er and –ir verbs -yó / -yeron verbs

25 leer – to read leí leíste leyó leímos leísteis leyeron
