Preterite Song
February 11th, 2010Here's a little song that our teacher taught us to help memorize some of the irregular verbs in the preterite tense:
vi di vine dije fui fui,
hice quise supe puse,
estuve anduve tuve pude,
produje traje cupe
They're all "yo" forms of common irregular verbs (fui is in there twice to remind you that it is the yo form of ir and ser).
The song is sung to the tune of "Ten Little Indians".
Obviously it's a "nonsense song" - since it's just a list of verbs ("I saw, I gave, I came, I said, I was, I went..." etc.)
Here's my attempt at singing it
:
Try memorizing it - it may help next time you're struggling to remember one of these irregular verbs in the preterite!! ![]()
