So when it comes time to introduce your students to a new set of irregular verbs, a little singing can go a long way! Here’s a song to help them out with the irregular preterite tense:
Los Irregulares de Pretérito
To the tune of “Row, Row, Row, Your Boat”
Fui, Fui, Dije, Vine
Tuve, Hice, Puse
Estuve, Quise, Pude, Supe
Traje, Anduve, Di
