EL PRETÉRITO
![Page 2: u To describe events or actions that lasted a specific amount of time and were completed in the past. u The Preterite is not used to describe habitual](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051515/5539c3c7550346c8778b49ec/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
When do we use the Pretérito
To describe events or actions that lasted a specific amount of time and were completed in the past.
The Preterite is not used to describe habitual or continuous actions in the past with no specific ending or beginning.

Regular “Pretérito” Forms
There are only two sets of endings for regular Preterite verbs, one for -ar verbs and one for both -er and -ir verbs.
the 1st and 3rd person singular have tildes (written accents) to differentiate them from present tense conjugations.
Also, the 1st person plural (nosotros) endings for -AR and -IR verbs are the same for both Preterite and present tenses.

Stem-changing verbs in the “Pretérito”
-Ar verbs that stem-change in the present tense (e.g., mostrar, almorzar), and -Er Present tense stem-changing verbs (e.g., perder, tener) do not stem-change in any other tenses including the Preteritee.
![Page 13: u To describe events or actions that lasted a specific amount of time and were completed in the past. u The Preterite is not used to describe habitual](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051515/5539c3c7550346c8778b49ec/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
-Ir verbs that stem-change in the present tense (e.g. dormir, servir, preferir, etc.) continue to have stem-changes.
However, these stem-changes occur only in the 3rd person singular (él, ella, usted) and 3rd person plural (ellos, ellas, ustedes).

The –IR verbs follow the same stem-changing pattern they have in the present progressive tense ("-iendo"):- The "O-->UE" stem-changers change to
"U" as they did with the "-ing" (-iendo) form:- Dormir: él está durmiendo.
- The E--->IE and the E--->I change to "I" as they did with the "-ing" (-iendo) form:
- Servir: Ella está sirviendo café.
