02 Spanish Lesson - Preterite - Irregulars - saber

[xvzw]

"los estudiantes supieron que hay un examen el lunes" in English the whole sentence would change in the past tense. In Spanish only the first verb changes, so "HAY" stays the same?. Hay is the verb "haber" right?

@xvzw

Es posible. You have other options. It could be the whole thing past tense... the imperfect tends to be used for future actions in the past...

"los estudiantes supieron que había un examen el lunes" (in the future)

"los estudiantes supieron que hubo un examen el lunes" (it was on Monday and they missed it)

Great videos! Have learnt a lot from these.

Was wondering, if the preterite of Saber isn't "I knew" and such... what would be "I knew a bit about ......."

[tontitofrito]

For certain things it'll work... however...

Generally for 'I knew'... we'll use the imperfect:

yo sabía

tú sabías

él/ella/ud sabía

nosotros/nosotras sabíamos

ellos/ellas/uds sabían
