Grammar - Verbs 2K Run!

This Spanish Difficult Review quiz is the first of four athletic verb quizzes. To start out, let’s do a 2K run! But first, if you recall, you were introduced to the athletic series of quizzes in the Spanish Medium Review quiz series. This here is where you will now really be running and taking off with your knowledge of conjugating verbs.

As a quiz overview, in the Spanish Easy Review quiz series you learned about AR, ER and IR verbs, as well as how to conjugate those verbs in the present tense. In the Spanish Medium Review quiz series you learned many other verbs and then you learned how to conjugate all of those verbs in the past tense.
