Remember

that

the

preterite

tells

us specifically when an action took place and the imperfect

tells us in general

when an action took place.

Spelling Change Verbs

Why?

Er

verb ends are:

ió

and

ieron

So you think:

cre

i

ó and creieronIt is too weak to be heard between the strong vowels "o" and the "e", so change the i

to a y and it can be heard and now all are happy! Creyó

creyeron

For verbs that end in -aer, -eer, -oír, and –

oer

creícreímoscreístecreyócreyeron

Add accents to tú and nosotros (already should have one on yo)Why? Because the  "i" is weak in the face of a stronger vowel, it requires an accent mark to give it voice (so we can hear

it)

Some others:

Caer

Leer

Oír
