Ver Preterite Practice

Ver (to see) in the preterite: 14 free exercises with an explanation after every answer, plus the full conjugation table.

14 exercisesIrregularA1 – A2 level
IWhat to watch for

In the preterite, ver takes regular -er endings on the bare stem v-: vi, viste, vio, vimos, visteis, vieron. The forms are so short that two of them break the usual accent rule.

The classic trap: vi and vio carry NO written accent, unlike comí and comió. One-syllable preterites drop the accent mark, so writing "ví" or "vió" is one of the most common spelling mistakes in Spanish.
