Morę Irregular Yerbs in the Preterit

• Dar, ser, and ir are irregular.

dar (to give)

ser (to be) and ir (to go)

di dimos diste disteis dio dieron

fui fuimos fuiste fuisteis fue fueron

Notę that:

•    dar takes the regular -er, -ir preterit endings.

•    ser and ir forms in the preterit are the same for both verbs. The context (the words sur-rounding the verb) will help you guess their meaning.

Ellos no fueron a la playa el domingo.    They did not go to the beach on Sunday.

Ellos fueron los campeones del torneo    They were the champions of the golf tournament.

de golf.

In the first example, ir is the logical guess because the preposition a follows: a la playa. In the second example, fueron, a preterit form of ser, links the pronoun ellos and the noun campeones. For better understanding, always try to read or listen to the entire sentence or meaningful group of words.
