The Present-Past Mirror

In Spanish, the 'we' (nosotros) form of -ar verbs like 'sentamos' is exactly the same in both the simple present and the simple past. You'll need to use context clues like 'yesterday' or 'now' to tell them apart!

No Stem Change Here

While the base verb (sentar) usually changes its 'e' to 'ie' (like in 'siento'), the 'nosotros' form is an exception and keeps the original 'e'.
