Lesson 63

Remembering and Being Pleased in the Past

Acordarse = to remember (reflexive, o→ue: me acuerdo). No me acuerdo = I don't remember — one of the most common phrases in Spanish.

The stress determines the split: me acuerdo (I remember — stress on stem, o→ue) vs nos acordamos (we remember — stress on ending, no split).

Gustar in past: Le gustó = he/she liked it (dot). Le gustó a ella = she liked it (clarification with a ella).
