Regular
Preterite Tense Verbs
Spanish
infinitives are conjugated by dropping the
ending (-ar, -er, -ir) and adding a new
ending, thus creating a new word.
The ending identifies 1) the tense
- when the action of the verb is taking place;
and 2) the person - who is
performing the action of the verb. see

The following charts show the verb
“endings” for all regular verbs in the Preterite
Tense.
Remember:
the verb chart is only a tool to use
while one is learning the language.
In other words, one must eventually
forget the verb chart and it must become
second nature.
Examples:
Yo hablé.
I spoke.
Yo hablé enfrente de la clase el
viernes.
I
spoke in front of the class on Friday.
