TAKE NOTES, fill out the tutorial form and watch out for the secret word!
In the video, the teacher calls these "TRIANGLE" verbs, which is his name for them. In class, I will more likely refer to them as "STRONG STEM" verbs, but the "triangle" way might help you remember the endings better!
These are the conjugations for the most common irregulars in the preterit tense. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE VER/DAR/IR/SER, but these are also weird irregulars.
You verbs are extra but you may them from time to time:
---Other verbs that work like "poder" "poner" "saber" are "caber (cup-) to fit" "haber (hub-) to be (as in "hubo un huracan" - there was a hurricane).
---Other verbs that work like "traer" and "decir" are "conducir (conduj-) to drive" "traducir (traduj-) to translate" and "producir (produj-) to produce)
---Other verbs that work like "estar" and "tener" are "andar (anduv-) to walk" and any verb that ends in "tener", like "obtener", "mantener" and "contener"
---Another verb that works like "hacer" is "satisfacer (satisfic/z-) to satisfy"
The secret word this time is "TRIANGLE". Complete the tutorial and tell me this word by the day the tutorial is due 13/11/13 for something special :-)
