Spelling Change Rule (Car to Qué)

The verb 'sacar' needs a small spelling change in the past tense ('yo' form) and in the special forms (like 'saque') to keep the hard 'k' sound. We change the 'c' to 'qu' so it sounds right: 'yo saqué' (I took out).

Forgetting the 'U'

Mistake:Yo sacé el libro.

Correction: Yo saqué el libro. (Always use 'qu' when the 'c' would be followed by 'e' or 'i' to keep the hard sound.)
