My Understanding Of The Preterit
Testo Storyboard
- ¡Hola! You caught me as I was doing my Spanish assignment, I'm learning about the Preterit tense.
- Oh, what is the Preterit tense? The Preterit tense is used to express an action that was totally completed in the past, an action completed at a definite specific moment in the past, an action or event that lasted for a specific period of time, a series of actions completed in the past and/or actions or events that are not usually repeated.
- The first step to forming the Preterit tense is to remove the infinitive endings of the word, -ar, -er, or -ir, to get the root of the verb. For example, hablar becomes habl, comer becomes com and vivir becomes viv.
- Next, we add the appropriate ending. For example, habl becomes "yo hablé", "tú hablaste", "él/ella/ud habló", "nosotros hablamos", "vosotros hablasteis" and "ellos/ellas/uds hablaron".
- The endings for -ir and -er verbs differ from -ar verb ending so we must learn that as well. We also have to learn verbs with spelling changes, stem-changing verbs, verbs with irregular stems, and irregular verbs.
- It's quite a bit really, but that's why I keep practicing. Well, I hope that you understand what the Preterit tense now, and I hope you practice it too ¡Adios!
