After the meeting, we agreed to lower the prices.

Dual Tense Identity

'Acordamos' is special because it means both 'we agree' (present action) and 'we agreed' (past finished action). Look for time markers (like 'ayer' or 'hoy') to figure out the tense.

Stem-Change Exception

Even though the verb 'acordar' is a stem-changer (o changes to ue in most forms, like 'yo acuerdo'), the 'nosotros' form keeps the original 'o'—it does not change to 'acuerdamos'.

Forgetting the 'Nos' for 'Remember'

Mistake:Acordamos de ir al cine. (Intended: We remember going to the cinema.)

Correction: Nos acordamos de ir al cine. The word 'acordamos' alone means 'we agreed' or 'we resolved'. To say 'we remember,' you MUST use the small word 'nos' before it.
