El Tiempo Pasado de los Verbos Regulares

El Pretérito de los Verbos Regulares

El Pretérito en Español

En Español I, aprendimos el presente indicativo. Then en Español II el presente progresivo. Now, we are going to aprender cómo hablar del pasado usando el pretérito o el tiempo pasado.

The preterit tense is used to express:

  • An action that is terminated or completed at a given point in the past.
  • An action or state that occupies a limited period of time.
  • An action with a specific and indicated beginning or ending.

The Preterit of Regular Verbs Talk about events in the past.

So far you have learned to use verbs in the present indicative tense. In this chapter you will learn about the preterit, one of two simple past tenses in Spanish. In Capítulo 8, we will be introduced to the imperfect, which is also used to refer to events in the past.

The Preterit of Regular Verbs Talk about events in the past.

The preterit tense is used to express: 1) An action that is terminated or completed at a given point in the past We ate dinner. She purchased a new car last year. 2) An action or state that occupies a limited period of time Dinner lasted two hours. It rained all morning. 3) An action with a specific and indicated beginning or ending We got to the restaurant at 7pm. It stopped raining at 5pm.
