Understanding the Preterite (Past) Tense of “Comunicarse”

The preterite of comunicarse is used to express when you communicated with someone at a specific moment in the past. For example, when you want to say “I communicated with my team yesterday” – “Me comuniqué con mi equipo ayer.”

This reflexive verb follows the -car spelling-changing pattern in the preterite. The ‘c’ changes to ‘qu’ before ‘e’ to maintain the same sound, which occurs in the yo form (me comuniqué), and requires reflexive pronouns with each conjugation.
