  2. When do we use the Pretérito • To describe events or actions that lasted a specific amount of time and were completed in the past. • The Preterite is not used to describe habitual or continuous actions in the past with no specific ending or beginning.

  3. Regular “Pretérito” Forms • There are only two sets of endings for regular Preterite verbs, one for -arverbs and one for both -erand -irverbs. • the 1st and 3rd person singular have tildes (written accents) to differentiate them from present tense conjugations. • Also, the 1st person plural (nosotros) endings for -AR and -IR verbs are the same for both Preterite and present tenses.

  4. The “Pretérito” Conjugate Forms • To form the “pretérito”, drop the infinitive ending of the verb and add the new “pretérito” ending. Ejemplo:I talked on the phone Monday hablar → habl_ é → hablé Yo hablépor el telephone el lunes.
