Preterite Exercises for Nada

These exercises are all about practicing the preterite verbs found in this song. The full conjugations can be found on our Activities page.

In the lyrics exercises, the preterite verbs have been removed from the song lyrics so that you can listen to the song and fill them in. We have also provided the infinitive and the pronoun when necessary to guide you in filling in the blanks if you would rather not listen to the song. On this page, the video floats so you can pause it more easily if needed. If you aren’t super confident of the spellings yet, go ahead and use the drag and drop exercise. But if you think you’ve got the spelling down use the fill in the blank exercise.

The highlighting exercise is just about recognizing the verbs in the preterite tense. Can you pick out all the instances in this song?
