Ir Preterite Practice

Question 1

Ayer yo ___ al dentista para una limpieza. (ir)

Accepted Answer

fui. Ayer marks a single completed action, so the preterite is needed. Ir uses the fu- forms it shares with ser: the yo form is fui, with no accent.

Question 2

¿A qué hora ___ tú al aeropuerto anoche? (ir)

Accepted Answer

fuiste. Anoche points to one finished trip, so the preterite fits. The tú form is fuiste — don't confuse it with the vosotros form fuisteis.

Question 3

El sábado pasado Camila ___ a la boda de su prima. (ir)

Accepted Answer

fue. El sábado pasado frames the trip as one completed event. The él/ella form is fue, written without an accent — unlike regular preterites such as habló.

Question 4

El mes pasado nosotros ___ a Cartagena de vacaciones. (ir)

Accepted Answer

fuimos. El mes pasado sets a closed time frame, so the preterite is required. The nosotros form of ir is fuimos, identical to the nosotros preterite of ser.

Question 5

Anoche mis vecinos ___ a un restaurante peruano nuevo. (ir)

Accepted Answer

fueron. Anoche marks one completed outing, calling for the preterite. Mis vecinos is plural, so ir takes fueron rather than the singular fue.

Question 6

En 2019 yo ___ a Buenos Aires por primera vez. (ir)

Accepted Answer

fui. A dated, one-time event (en 2019) takes the preterite. Watch the spelling trap: fui never carries an accent — fuí is always wrong.

Question 7

De repente el perro ___ corriendo hacia la puerta. (ir)

Accepted Answer

fue. De repente signals a sudden completed action, a classic preterite trigger. The correct form is fue with no accent — fué is a common misspelling.

Question 8

Después de la reunión, los gerentes ___ directo al almuerzo. (ir)

Accepted Answer

fueron. Después de la reunión describes a finished sequence of events, so the preterite applies. Los gerentes requires the plural form fueron.

Question 9

Dime, ¿___ tú a la farmacia esta mañana? (ir)

Accepted Answer

fuiste. Esta mañana refers to a trip that either happened or didn't — a completed event, so the preterite fuiste is needed for tú.

Question 10

Mi hermana y yo ___ en tren hasta Valparaíso el jueves. (ir)

Accepted Answer

fuimos. El jueves pins the trip to one specific day, so the preterite is correct. Mi hermana y yo equals nosotros, giving fuimos.

Question 11

La semana pasada yo no ___ a clase por la gripe. (ir)

Accepted Answer

fui. La semana pasada closes off the time period, so the preterite fits. The destination a clase shows this fui means 'went', not 'was'.

Question 12

Usted ___ a la sucursal equivocada; esta es la central. (ir)

Accepted Answer

fue. The trip already happened — one completed action — so the preterite is required. Usted takes the third person singular form fue.

Question 13

Mis abuelos ___ a Lima en avión el año pasado. (ir)

Accepted Answer

fueron. El año pasado marks a single finished trip, a clear preterite context. The plural subject mis abuelos calls for fueron.

Question 14

¿Vosotros ___ al estadio a pie el domingo? (ir)

Accepted Answer

fuisteis. El domingo refers to one specific completed outing, so the preterite applies. The vosotros form is fuisteis — one syllable longer than tú fuiste.
