Spanish Medium Review Quiz - Grammar - New Irregular Verbs Vocabulary (Questions)

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.)

As you know, verbs can be regular and irregular depending upon they tense that they are conjugated in. In other words, they can remain regular in both (or more) tenses or they can be regular in one tense and irregular in another. It can get to be very confusing so to help you try and get a handle on this, please try to take as many of the verb quizzes as possible. Taking all of them would be even better! So let’s look as some of the following irregular verbs.

VOLAR (to fly): (irregular in present / regular in past)

OÍR (to hear / listen): (irregular in present / irregular in past)

SONREÍR (to smile): (irregular in present / irregular in past)

TROPEZAR (to trip): (irregular in present / irregular in past)

SEMBRAR (to sow / plant): (irregular in present / regular in past)

MOSTRAR (to show): (irregular in present / regular in past)

REÍR (to laugh): (irregular in present / irregular in past)

JUGAR (to play): (irregular in present / irregular in past)

SOSTENER (to hold): (irregular in present / irregular in past)

ENVIAR (to send): (irregular in present / regular in past)

Again, please allow yourself plenty of time to get to know each of these verbs and to work on training your brain to instantly be able to come up with the correct form of the verb in the correct tense. Practice, practice and practice. Remember to say the words out load so you can hear them. The mind remembers sound far faster than it remembers written words.

Okay, now it is time for the quiz. There are ten sentences with a verb that is shown in all capitalized letters. Your task is to find the correct Spanish verb and form that matches the capitalized verb.
