Question 1

TO DO / TO MAKE

Indicative Preterite ( Simple Past ) Tense

To do / to make

I did / I made
You did / you made
He / she did or made
We did / we made
You ( pl ) did / you (pl ) made
They did / they made

—— Prompts ——

If I go backwards and prompts are needed

In a regular verb hacer ( to do/to make ) would conjugate in the first person to haci ( I did / I made ) but this is one of many irregular verbs that follow the same rough pattern.

1 : Take hacer, remove the ending to reveal stem only ( hac )

2 : Change the stem hac to hic

3 : Add on ending for AR verbs ( e )

4 : This gives hice

Note there is no accent on the e so the push is on the i, I the penultimate syllable as common

5 : The 3rd person follows the same pattern, keeping the new stem ( hic ) but changing it slight to hiz and then adding the ending for AR VERBS ( o ).

6 : Again there is no accent over there o so the push is on the i.

7 : For all other conjugations keep the same stem ( hic ) and simply add on the regular endings for preterite er and ir verbs.

( el dice hice = he says I did )
