  1. El pretéritode los verbos

  2. El pretérito: • is 1 of the 2 past tense verbs (“-ed”) • narrates a series of actions or events or • outlines a specific time such as: • 1. a completed action • I left Lulú’s house early yesterday. • 2. talks about what happened • I bought a shirt and paid $15. • 3. when an event began or ended in the past • Last Saturday the party ended at midnight. • 4. asks or state that something has already • been done (“did ”) • Did you study last night?

  3. As with the present, the stem for regular verbs in the pretérito is the infinitive stem. tomar tom- hablar habl- comer com- volver volv- abrir abr- escribir escrib-

  4. El pretérito: • Some expressions (aka ‘key words’) that are used with the pretérito are: * anoche last night * esta mañana this morning * ayer yesterday * anteayer day before yesterday * la semana pasada last week * el mes pasado last month * el año pasado last year

  5. -é -aste -ó -amos -asteis -aron Pretérito endings for -ar verbs are: Now let’s practice the endings with a little something your teacher calls: ‘The clapper’ You MUST do this activity.

  6. -í -iste -ió -imos -isteis -ieron Pretérito endings for –er / -ir verbs are: OK, here we go again… ‘The clapper’ You MUST do this activity.

  7. REMEMBER: • accents on the “yo” form • and the “él / ella / Ud.” form • -ar / -ir “nosotros” form is • the same in present and • pretérito. • Also note that –ar and –er • verbs NEVER EVER stem- • change in the pretérito • Who can give me examples of stem-changing –ar • and -er verbs?

  8. tomé tomaste tomó tomamos tomasteis tomaron tomar (-ar verbs) Por ejemplo:

  9. hablé hablaste habló hablamos hablasteis hablaron hablar (-ar verbs) Por ejemplo: Let’s do the ‘clapper’.

  10. comí comiste comió comimos comisteis comieron comer (-er / -irverbs) Por ejemplo:

  13. escribí escribiste escribió escribimos escribisteis escribieron escribir (-er / -irverbs) Por ejemplo: Let’s do the ‘clapper’.

  14. Verbs ending in -car, -gar, and-zar have a spelling change in the “yo” form of the pretérito in order to preserve the sound. Verbos ‘piratas’: buscar tocar practicar pagar jugar llegar almorzar empezar comenzar

  15. The “yo” form of the pretérito changes to conserve the sound of the infinitive: -car -gar -zar “-qué” “-gué” “-cé” “tocé” “jugé” “comenzé”

  22. El pretérito: Now let’s take the English sentences that we saw earlier and translate them into Spanish using the pretérito. • I left Lulú’s house early yesterday. • Salí de la casa de Lulú temprano ayer. • I bought a shirt and paid $15. • Compré una camisa y pagué $15. • Last Saturday the party ended at midnight. • El sábado pasado la fiesta terminó a la medianoche. • Did you study last night? • ¿Estudiaste anoche?
