Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! There is a reason that one of the staple meals of Costa Rica is called a “casado”. This plate of meat, rice, beans, platanos, and salad is the PERFECT marriage of food. It is a hearty lunch that may make you want to skip your afternoon and take a nap. The beauty of casados are their variety. You won’t find the same plate in two different sodas. That’s great when it comes to food, but when it comes to verbs it can be annoying. Carlos and Natalia know these irregular verbs and while you may know the regular conjugations for the preterit tense, the irregular ones must be addressed individually. Most have a stem change. Don’t worry, you can learn them degree by degree. Check out our verb conjugation database in the learning center. You will find all the forms you need there!
