This post will exclude: dar, ser, ir, ver, saber, querer, poder.
The goal of the post is for you to know what/when verbs will follow a certain pattern in the preterite based on their ending. Just the verbs/suffixes used below are the ones that will be used to make up different verbs. I’m JUST going to talk about the verbs that are used in conjunction with other prefixes to change the meaning. However, we’re going to take a look at some irregular verbs in the preterite that will help you to recognize right away which verbs will be conjugated differently from the norm and HOW they’ll be conjugated even if you have never seen the verb before. They technically follow their own pattern. There are some that just seem to have absolutely no rhyme or reason to them when conjugated in the preterite.
