Past Tense of Regular Verbs
2
So far, we've only conjugated verbs in the PRESENT TENSE!
Yo como las hamburguesas = I eat the hamburgers
Mis amigos y yo estudiamos el español =Mis friends and I study Spanish
Mi madre escribe una carta = My mom writes a letter
In Spanish, there are TWO simple tenses to indicate actions that happened in the PAST
The PRETERITE is used to describe actions that began and were completed at a DEFINITE time in the PAST
3
Conjugating Regular Verbs in Preterite
4
How will we know the difference? Context!
5
Verbs that change in the stem in PRESENT tense that we've learned do NOT stem change in preterite form.
Generalmente, yo me acuesto a las nueve de la noche, pero ayer yo me acosté a las once.
6
Verbs that end in CAR, GAR, or ZAR all have a unique spell change in the YO form for the preterite tense.
PRACTICAR - QUÉ - Yo PRACTIQUÉ = I practiced
JUGAR - GUÉ - Yo JUGUÉ = I played
ALMORZAR - CÉ - Yo ALMORCÉ = I ate lunch
