Key learning points
- Listening to distinguish sounds e.g. [l] and [ll], improves pronunciation.
- 'De' can translate as 'from' and 'of'. It can also mean 'of' and show possession; this replaces 's in English.
- Some verbs have an irregular stem in the preterite: pud-, vin-, pus-, quis-, traj-, estuv-, dij-, -tuv-.
- 'Tú' is the subject pronoun 'you' and goes before a verb. 'Tu' and 'tus' are possessive adjectives and mean 'your'.
- 'Vosotros/as' are the subject pronoun 'you all'. 'Vuestro(s)/a(s)' are possessive adjectives and both mean 'your'.
Keywords
Preterite tense - a tense used for events completed in the past
Irregular verb - a verb that does not follow the regular rules
Stem - part of the verb that appears in all forms
Subject pronoun - represents the person, people or thing(s) doing the verb e.g. I, we, they
Possessive adjective - shows who something belongs to e.g. my, your, her
Common misconception
'Tu' is both the subject pronoun 'you' and the possessive adjective 'your'.
'Tu' without an accent is a possessive adjective: you; 'tú' with an accent is a subject pronoun: you.
