Tips to remember the word “comí”:
– Associate it with “comer,” the infinitive form meaning “to eat.” The ending “-í” indicates first-person singular past tense.
– You can think of “I” in “I ate” and “-í” in “comí” to make a connection since they sound similar and refer to the person who performed the action.

Explanations:
– “Comí” is the first-person singular form of the verb “comer” in the preterite tense, used to describe actions completed in the past.
