Preterite challenge: stem-ch -ir & -car/-gar/-zar verbs

INSTRUCCIONES: This puzzle is a mix of the 'yo' forms in preterite of verbs ending in -car/-gar/-zar AND the third person of stem-changing -ir verbs in preterite. ALL verbs here fit into one of these two categories -- but recall that not all FORMS receive the changes we have discussed. You need to pay attention here and decide. For assistance, see Avancemos, or Senor Cashman's prezi on past tense (link is on classjump, Nov. 8), or your notes taken in class.
