Key learning points
- To mean 'I' in the preterite with -er/-ir verbs, we remove -er/-ir and add -í, -iste for 'you' and -ió for 'she, he,it'.
- Spanish subject pronouns add emphasis or clarity when comparing different people.
- Spanish singular subject pronouns are: 'yo' ('I'), 'tú' ('you'), 'él' ('he') and 'ella' ('she').
- Adjectives usually come after the noun; however, certain prenominal adjectives come before the noun.
- Prenominal adjectives 'primero' and 'tercero' drop the -o before a masculine singular noun.
