Understanding the Preterite (Past) Tense of “Comunicarse”
The preterite of comunicarse is used to express a specific instance of communicating in the past, for example Me comuniqué con ella por teléfono (I communicated with her by phone). This reflexive verb emphasizes the completed action of communication at a particular moment.
This verb requires a spelling change in the first person singular, where ‘c’ changes to ‘qu’ before ‘é’ to maintain the hard ‘k’ sound. It’s used reflexively, so you need to include the appropriate reflexive pronoun with each conjugation.
