**Tips to Remember “Traigo”:**

1. Associate “Traigo” with “I bring” by thinking of “traigo” as “tray-go.” Imagine you are carrying a tray (that sounds like tra-) and you are on the go (-go), hence “I bring” the tray as you go.
2. Link it to the English cognate “traction,” which has to do with the act of pulling or dragging something. When you bring something, you also move it from one place to another, just like gaining traction.
