Lesson details

Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

Key learning points

  1. Regular -er/-ir verbs: Singular persons (-í, -iste, -ió) and 3rd person plural (-ieron).
  2. A detailed description often has a wide range of features.
  3. We can also use longer texts to enrich vocabulary and style and ensure we include varied and interesting language.

Keywords

  • Preterite - a tense used for events completed in the past

Common misconception

All the singular persons of -ar, -er, and -ir verbs in the preterite have an accent.

Only the 'I' and 'she, he, it' forms have an accent. For -ar verbs, the endings are -é and -ó; for -er and -ir verbs the endings are -í and -ió.
