Verbs with the Same Conjugation in the Preterite Tense

Verbs with the Same Conjugation in the Preterite Tense

Irregular verbs in Spanish can have unique conjugations in different tenses. However, there are some verbs that have the exact same conjugation in the preterite tense. These verbs include ir (to go), ser (to be), and saber (to know).

Ir and ser have the same conjugations in the preterite tense. For example:

  • I went = fui
  • You went = fuiste
  • He/She/It went = fue
  • We went = fuimos
  • You all went = fuisteis
  • They went = fueron

Saber also follows the same conjugation pattern in the preterite tense. For example:

  • I knew = supe
  • You knew = supiste
  • He/She/It knew = supo
  • We knew = supimos
  • You all knew = supisteis
  • They knew = supieron

It's important to remember that not all verbs have the same conjugation in the preterite tense. Regular verbs generally follow a pattern of endings, while irregular verbs like ir, ser, and saber have their own unique conjugations. Practice is key to mastering these conjugations in Spanish!
