Key learning points

  1. The 'look, cover, write, check' method is a useful way to revisit vocabulary.
  2. You can develop past-tense conversation answers by using a variety of tenses, such as the perfect and preterite.

Keywords

  • Perfect tense - used to express what has happened, e.g. 'I have listened', 'I have bought'

  • Preterite tense - used to express single, completed actions in the past, e.g. 'I listened', 'I bought'

Common misconception

'I played' in Spanish is 'jugé'.

'I played' in Spanish is 'jugué'. An extra 'u' is added after the 'g' to preserve the hard [g] sound.
