Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'trajiste' have a 'j' if the infinitive is 'traer'?
This is a key irregularity of the verb 'traer' in the simple past tense (preterite). The entire stem changes from 'tra-' to 'traj-' (like 'traje', 'trajiste', 'trajo'). You just have to memorize this change, as it follows a pattern shared by a few other important verbs.
How do I say 'you brought' formally?
If you are speaking formally (using 'usted'), you would use the third-person singular form, which is **trajo**.
