True or False: ser and ir verbs have the same conjugations in the preterite tense
- Yo: fui (I was)
- Tú: fuiste (You were, informal singular)
- Él/Ella/Usted: fue (He/She/You(formal) were)
- Nosotros/Nosotras: fuimos (We were)
- Vosotros/Vosotras: fuisteis (You all were, informal plural)
- Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes: fueron (They/You all (formal) were)
- Yo: fui (I went)
- Tú: fuiste (You went, informal singular)
- Él/Ella/Usted: fue (He/She/You (formal) went)
- Nosotros/Nosotras: fuimos (We went)
- Vosotros/Vosotras: fuisteis (You all went, informal plural)
- Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes: fueron (They/You all (formal) went)
As seen in the conjugations, while the first-person singular form (yo) of both ser and ir is the same (fui), the conjugations for the other forms differ. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that ser and ir verbs have the same conjugations in the preterite tense.
