Tips to remember the word “siguió”:
– Break it down: “sigu-” is the stem that comes from the verb “seguir”, and “-ió” is a common ending for third person singular past tense in Spanish.
– Associate “siguió” with the English word “pursue,” which can help you remember that it refers to a continuation or follow-up of an action.
– Think of the English phrase “He sigu-ed (siguió) along,” even though “sigu-ed” isn’t a real English verb.

Explanations:
– “Siguió” is the third person singular past tense conjugation of the verb “seguir”, which means “to follow” or “to continue”.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– “Continuó” (from the verb “continuar”, also meaning “continued” or “followed on”).
– “Prosiguió” (from the verb “proseguir”, meaning “proceeded” or “went on”).
