Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the simple past (preterite) form 'trajeron' have a 'j' instead of an 'i'?

This is a major irregularity in Spanish! The verb 'traer' changes its root from 'trae-' to 'traj-' in the simple past tense. This special 'j' sound is crucial for all the past tense forms (traje, trajiste, trajo, trajeron).

Is 'trajeron' used for 'they brought' or 'you all brought'?

It is used for both! 'Ellos/Ellas trajeron' means 'they brought,' and 'Ustedes trajeron' means 'you all brought' (the formal plural form).
