[A comment rather than a question]: All '-erir' verbs [apart from the barely used 'enjerir'] change the e to ie:, e.g. sugerir, referir, preferir, diferir, transferir, requerir and a host of others. A similar rule applies to [all !] '-vertir' verbs: convertir, divertir(se), etc. etc.... On the other hand, all '-etir', '-edir' and '-egir' verbs adopt the e>i change.... With help from a CD which enabled words to be listed in reverse-alphabetical order, I examined the contents of my CLAVE dictionary, and posted the results in http://dlmcn.com/ir_verbs.html (the accents are properly represented in http://DLMcN.com/irverbs.doc ).

Is it different in English?

Maybe I’m wrong but I thought in English, “when” is the one that goes with pretérito indefinido because it is “when” something happens, “when” something interrupts an existing action. So I would say “I was taking a shower when the phone rang” or “when you called, I was talking to a friend.” It’s weird to me to use “when” to go with an ongoing action. I mean “when” is a point in time, right? Not an ongoing event.

Preposition required?

Hola,

Is the 'a' always required? Can you say 'Maria le gusta', rather than 'A Maria le gusta'?

Apologies if I've missed it in the text.

Gracias,
