The preterite verb form describes past actions that have begun or completed. The preterite sets something in the past as an
event, with a beginning and an end. Spanish has another past tense form, the imperfect, that is used for past actions that are continuing, or for which its beginning or its end is
not important. -AR verbs Eliminate the "-ar" and replace it with one of the following endings: -é Patinar (to skate) becomes: patiné: I skated Notice that the "nosotros" form conjugates the same as it does in the present tense. This can cause confusion so look for
context tools to make sure you have the right tense. -AR verbs Eliminate the "-ar" and replace it with one of the following endings: -uve Andar (to walk, to go) becomes: anduve: I walked |
