I'll send this to our Spanish expert, SraJMcGin.
Let's begin with those verbs, which will have a spelling change.
buscar
llegar
comenzar
A -car verb must change the c to a q when followed by the letter "e" to keep the "k" sound and that will occur in the "yo" form of the Preterit and the Present Subjunctive (when you get to it1)
This is the "s" sound = ce, ci
This is the "k" sound = ca, co, cu, que, qui
A -gar verb which has the hard "guh" sound must add a "u" in front of the letter "e" and that will happen in the "yo" form of the Preterit and the Present Subjunctive, when you get to it.
guh sound = ga, go, gu, gue, gui
"h" sound = ge, gi
A -zar verb will have no sound change if you are studying Latin American Spanish but it will change the sound in Castellian. The "z" will become the letter "c" to keep the "th" sound in Spain.
"th" = za, zo, zu, ce, ci
Now, we don't DO the sentences for you, but I'll flag this and come back later after you have written the verb forms for the above sentences.
