Spanish Irregular Preterite Verbs Song

http://www.languagewrangler.com/spansh-irregular-verbs-song/ - Rhyming and songs are a great way to remember stuff, like vocabulary. It's just another way to incorporate learning your new language into your daily life.

Here are the lyrics to that little diddy:
Fui - I was
Fui - I went
Di - I gave
Vine - I came
Tuve - I had
Hice - I made
Puse - I put
Estuve - I was
Quise- I wanted
Pude - I was able to
Supe - I found out
Dije - I said
Traje - I brought
y
Anduve - I walked

The tune is to the song 3 Little Indians

how does the "yo" form help you remember "everything". meaningless.

[languagewrangler]

@MrCosmo314 Knowing the "yo" form of the irregular helps me to remember how the rest of those irregular verbs are conjugated, because regular verbs are conjugated...well, regularly! For example: Fui = I went, so fuiste = you went, fue = he/she/it went, fuimos = we went, fuieron = they went. And so on. :)

Nunca escuché esa canción, pero está interesante. And the way you sing it is very cute too. Cheers!

[languagewrangler]

@PepioSpanish Thanks! I think my Spanish teacher made it up! I really like it though. Thanks for thinking my singing is cute. I was bracing myself for the worst. Two of my best friends have told me "bless your heart for trying to sing" after hearing me sing. That's pretty bad! :)

@languagewrangler "they went" = "fueron", not "fuieron" :)

I would agree again with part of what you're stating. Pretty... Hell Yes, Tone deaf... Ok, your not an Opera singer. But your cute enough to get an audience... good enough for US TV.

Curious... If it helps you to remember then why did you have to read it off your notes?
