Verbs that change meaning in the preterite
By Carlos Dávila
2
Certain Spanish verbs like 'conocer', 'querer' and 'sentir' have one meaning in the present, but change their meaning when used in the preterite (past tense).
This is because the preterite tense, implies that an action has occurred. The action in these verbs has more of an emotional or mental connotation, than an actual physical connotation.
In this lesson you will see a list of verbs with their meanings both in the present and in the preterite.
