Frequent doubts

When does dormir become durmió?

Only in the third persons: durmió, durmieron. The others are regular: dormí, dormiste, dormimos, dormisteis. Morir works the same way: murió, murieron.

Why “leyó” and “construyó”?

When the stem ends in a vowel, the i of -ió and -ieron becomes y: leer → leyó, oír → oyeron, construir → construyó, huir → huyeron.

Do leer and oír need written accents?

Yes, in the forms where the i is stressed: leí, leíste, leímos; oí, oíste, oímos. Construir does not: construí, construiste.

Can I retake the test?

Yes, as many times as you want, with no account and no email. We recommend reviewing the related materials and coming back a few days later.
