If someone says “ me pongo la camiseta”, they’re certainly committed to doing something. (Literally, I’m wearing the shirt.) -This is an expression Mexicans use to talk about commitment. (I never tell lies.) -that must be a lie because we have all lied at some point, right? Now let’s go over a set of verbs que será útil (that will come in handy) in most, if not all, of your conversations in Spanish: This is the method we use at Spring Spanish: instead of asking you to memorize conjugation tables, we teach words in context, which are easier to remember when having a conversation. ¿Te conozco? is another example of a chunk.Īn exception to this rule is the verb hacer, which means to do. If a verb ends in -CER, the conjugation will almost always be -ZCO. The verbs ending in -GER and -GIR, like escoger (to choose) and exigir (to demand) will always end in -JO. _ (I don’t distinguish between) los colores.
