Hola! Hacer is irregular in the preterite as well. So the present tense of hacer, to do or to make, is as follows. Yo hago.
Tú haces. Él hace. Ella hace.
Usted hace. Nosotros hacemos. Nosotras hacemos.
Ellos hacen. Ellas hacen. Ustedes hacen.
Some examples of this verb in the present tense. Yo hago la tarea. Nosotros no hacemos nada. Juan hace la cama. In the preterite tense for hacer we have yo hice, tú hiciste, él hizo, ella hizo, usted hizo, nosotros hicimos, nosotras hicimos.
Ellos hicieron, ellas hicieron, ustedes hicieron. Notice that in the L or ella, usted form, we have to change the C to a Z. If we didn't, the sound would be inconsistent with the pronunciation. So we say say, hizo, and if we spell the word with a C like the rest of the forms, it would be pronounced ICO.
So we want to keep the S sound and we have to do the Z. Okay? Those examples again from the present tense, so yo hago la tarea, I do the homework. Yo hice la tarea, I did the homework.
Nosotros no hacemos nada. Change two. Nosotros no hicimos nada.
Nosotros no hacemos nada. We don't do anything. Nosotros no hicimos nada. We didn't do anything.
Juan hace la cama. Change two. Juan hizo la cama.
Juan hace la cama. Juan makes his bed. Juan hizo la cama. Juan made his bed.
Okay, so this is the past tense of the verb. Let's try some. I'll give you the verb in the present tense, and you can change it to the preterite. Example, yo hago. We'll change to yo hice.
Okay, now you try. Tú haces. Tú hiciste. Usted hace. Usted hizo.
Nosotros hacemos. Nosotros hicimos. Ellos hacen. Ellos hicieron.
Juan y Marta hacen. Juan y Marta hicieron. Paco y yo hacemos.
Paco y yo hicimos. Felipe hace. Felipe hizo. Ustedes hacen.
Ustedes hicieron. Okay? Now, I'll give you some sentences to translate into Spanish.
As always, pause the video if you need more time. Look in the word bank if you aren't sure what a word is. And also, if you don't remember how to change hacer into the preterite, you can look below the video for the conjugation.
Okay? They did their homework. Ellos hicieron su tarea.
He made a mistake. Él hizo un error. I made my bed.
Yo hice la cama. The students didn't pay attention. Los estudiantes no hicieron caso. We made a pizza.
Nosotros hicimos una pizza. What did you do? ¿Qué hiciste? Julia did the chores. Julia hizo los quehaceres.
So that's the verb hacer in the preterite tense. Again, it's changed as follows. Yo hice. Tú hiciste.
Él hizo. Ella hizo. Usted hizo. Nosotros hicimos.
Ellos hicieron. Ellas hicieron. Ustedes hicieron. Okay, hope this video was helpful.
