Today in class we studied more irregular verbs in the preterit. We studied the verbs That change from I-Y in the 3rd person singular and plural. See notes below

El pretérito de verbos con el cambio ortográfico i → y

Verbs ending in -uir, such as destruir, have a spelling change in the preterite. The i becomes y in the Ud. / él / ella and Uds. / ellos / ellas forms.

destruí destruimos destruiste destruisteis destruyó destruyeron

Note that the i is only accented in the yo form.

Other verbs, such as leer, creer, oír, and caerse, follow a similar pattern.

leí leímos leíste leísteis leyó leyeron

In these verbs, the i is always accented.
