In this Spanish Medium Review quiz you will be introduced to a number of new irregular verbs vocabulary. In fact, it is chalk full of new Spanish vocabulary words. Not only have you been given close to 50 additional verbs since the Spanish Easy Review quiz series but, on top of that, you have also had to learn how to conjugate those verbs in both the present tense (presente tense) and the past tense (pretérito tense).
As has been stated in earlier quizzes, here on this site there are many different quizzes that have been designed to help you conquer the Spanish verbs and their many forms. For this particular quiz you will focus in on some of the irregular verbs. (Although they each will be irregular in the present tense, there may be some that will be regular in the past tense.)
