Exercise 19
Step 1
1 of 9
For this exercise we must remember the particularities of the preterite tense of the verb *caerse*

We must indicate where the subjects of the sentences fell.

Step 2
2 of 9
Before forming the answer to each sentence, we must be clear about the following aspects:

a) In the preterite tense of the third person of the verb -caerse-, *i* (third person singular) and *ie* (third person plural) are replaced by **y**.

b) For the rest of the cases, the *i* is written with an accent: **í**.

Step 3
3 of 9
1. The words are: they / the stairs.

Since here we have the third person plural, the preterite tense of *caerse* is **cayeron**.

|Spanish |English |
|–|–|
|Ellos se cayeron de las escaleras. |They fell off the stairs. |

Step 4
4 of 9
2. The words are: Ivette and I / the bike.

In this case, because it is the first person plural (we), the preterite tense of *caerse* is **caímos**.

|–|–|
|Ivette y yo nos caímos de la bicicleta. |Ivette and I fell off the bike. |

Step 5
5 of 9
3. The words are: Julio / the bed.

Here we have the third person singular. For this reason, the preterite tense of *caerse* is **cayó**.

| Julio se cayó de la cama. | Julio fell out of bed.|

Step 6
6 of 9
4. The words are: Alma and you / the water.

|Alma y tú os caísteis al agua. | Alma and you fell into the water. |

Step 7
