Grammar

Preterite Stem Changes (e → i, o → u)

 

As before, -ar and -er verbs with stem changes in the present do NOT have a stem change in the prederite. Verbs in the -ir form only have stem changes in the él/ella/Ud. and ellos/ellas/Uds. forms. Verbs whose stems change from e → ie in the present form change from e → i in the preterite forms for él/ella/Ud. and ellos/ellas/Uds. Also, -ir verbs whose stems change from o → ue in the present tense change from o → u in the same prederite forms.

 

Here is a list of verbs with stem changes along with their corresponding prederite stem changes:

 

Verbo (memorize)	yo Form (memorize)	él/ella/Ud Form (memorize)	ellos/ellas/Uds Form (memorize)
conseguir	conseguí	consiguió	consiguieron
divertir	divertí	divirtió	divirtieron
dormir	dormí	durmió	durmieron
mentir	mentí	mintió	mintieron
morir	morí	murió	murieron
pedir	pedí	pidió	pidieron
preferir	preferí	prefirió	prefirieron
repetir	repetí	repitió	repitieron
seguir	seguí	siguió	siguieron
sentir	sentí	sintió	sintieron
servir	serví	sirvió	sirvieron
sugerir	sugerí	sugirió	sugirieron
vestirse	me vestí	se vistió	se vistieron

Double-Object Pronouns

 

Two objects are often used to avoid redundancy - a direct object (the "it") and the indirect object (the "who"). In Spanish when both direct and indirect pronouns are utilized the indirect object ***ALWAYS*** precedes the direct object.

 

Person (memorize)	Double Object Pronouns (memorize)
yo	me lo (la, los, las)
tú	te lo (la, los, las)
él/ella/Ud.	se lo (la, los, las)
nos	nos lo (la, los, las)
vos	os lo (la, los, las)
ellos/ellas/Uds.	se lo (la, los, las)

 

Notice that instead of the usual 3rd person Indirect pronouns le or les, that se is used instead. So when both of the pronouns begin with the letter L, the indirect object is transformed into se.

Por versus para

 

The confusion of por versus para results from the fact that both can be translated as "for", so the true meaning of the word, as well as which word to use, must be taken from contextual clues.

 

Subject (memorize)	por (memorize)	para (memorize)
People	because of, on behalf of, on account of	for the benefit of
Things	in lieu of, instead of	for use with
Space and Time	through, by way of, during	go to a destination, for an outcome, for a goal

 

Remember, por and para can be translated as "for", but that doesn't help us figure out which to use. So if you can substitute one of the phrases above you can figure out which word to use. Examples are below.
