-CAR, -GAR, -ZAR Irregular Preterite

The first type of irregular verb in el pretérito that we will look at are verbs that have a “yo” form that doesn’t correspond with the normal pattern of conjugation. These verbs all end in “‐car,” “‐gar,” or “‐zar” and have an irregular spelling only in the “yo” form in order to ensure that the sound of the verb is maintained

-CAR -- qué -GAR -- qué -ZAR -- cé

  • tocar -- toqué

  • sacar -- saqué

  • buscar -- busqué

  • jugar -- jugué

  • pagar -- pagué

  • cruzar -- crucé

  • empezar -- empecé

¡Las sandálias!

Sandal Verbs, often called Stem Changing Verbs, in the preterit have irregular forms in ONLY the él/ella/usted and ellos/ellas/ustedes (3rd person) forms. To help remember this pattern they are sometimes referred to as “las sandalias.”
