Tips to remember the word “practiqué”:
1. Associate “practiqué” with the English equivalent “I practiced,” focusing on the similarity in sound of “-ticed” and “-tiqué.”
2. Remember that in Spanish, verbs ending in “-ar” often take the “-é” ending in the first person singular past tense (preterite).

Explanations:
“Practiqué” is the first person singular form of the verb “practicar” in the preterite tense, which is used to describe actions that have been completed in the past.

Other words that mean the same thing (synonyms):
– Ejercité (from “ejercitar,” it can mean “I exercised” or “I practiced” in a physical or repetitive-action sense)
– Entrené (from “entrenar,” which can mean “I trained” or “I practiced,” often used in the context of sports)
