2 Los Usos del Preterito y Imperfecto El Preterito To tell of something that happened once To tell of something that happened once but with a specific end To indicate the beginning or end of a process El Imperfecto To tell of past or habitual or repeated actions To describe a condition, mental state, or state of being from the past To describe an action that occurred over a specific amount of time

3 El Pretérito The preterite form is used for actions that were completed in the past.

4 -AR verbs -é-amos -aste -ó-aron -ER & -IR verbs -í-imos -iste -ió-ieron VERBOS REGULARES 1.Drop the ar/er/ir ending of the infinitve 2.Add the corresponding ending depending on whether the verb ended in ar/er/ir

6 CAR/GAR/ZAR -car -qué -gar -gué -zar -cé **yo form only I Y Used for verbs that end in -aer, -eer, -oír, and –oer The él/ella/usted forms use the ending "yó" (rather than ió) The third person plural uses the ending "yeron" (rather than ieron) The remaining forms gain a written accent over the letter "i." STEM CHANGERS -ar & -er verbs that are stem changers in the present tense do not change their stems in the preterite. -ir verbs that are stem changers in the present tense change their stems in the preterite such that e:i and o:u **third person only (singular and plural

7 I Y The I to Y rules are applied to the verb creer in the preterite. creícreímos creíste creyócreyeron CAR/GAR/ZAR Almorzar: The yo form replaces the z with a c so that it becomes Almorcé. STEM CHANGERS Pensar is a stem changer in the present tense, but because it is an –ar verb, it is conjugated normally, without changing its stem when in the preterite form. Dormir is an –ir stem changer in the present tense, so in the preterite, the third person forms change stems from o to u. dormídormimos dormiste durmiódurmieron
