Tense Identification

Since 'llegamos' is used for both 'we arrive' (present) and 'we arrived' (past), context is key. Look for past time words like 'ayer' (yesterday), 'la semana pasada' (last week), or 'en ese momento' (at that moment).

Incorrect Preterite 'Yo' Form

Mistake: “When conjugating the 'yo' form of 'llegar' in the past, students sometimes write *llege*.”

Correction: The correct past tense 'I arrived' is *llegué* (with -gu-) to keep the hard 'g' sound. However, 'llegamos' for 'we arrived' follows the regular pattern.
