C8G2 pg.152 Preterite: El Pretérito (past tense): -AR Verbs *Conjugate like you would in the present: copy the stem, change the leaf! yo: -é nosotros/as: -amos tú: -aste *vosotros: -asteis él/ella/ud: -ó ellos/ellas/uds: -aron EX: Compré un DVD ayer.: I bought a DVD yesterday. * Because the nosotros ending (-amos) is the same as present tense, you have to use context clues (like ayer) to figure out if it's in the past tense. * Stem-changing -AR verbs do NOT have a stem change in the preterite. EX: Econtré una camisa bonita y la compré.: I found a pretty shirt and I bought it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ pg. 154 Preterite: Ir yo fui nosotros fuimos tú fuiste vosotros fuisteis él fue ellos fueron * Use adónde to ask where someone went.

EX: Fuimos a la librerí a comprar libros.: We went to the bookstore to buy books. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ pg. 156 Preterite of -AR verbs with reflexive pronouns * The reflexive pronouns go before the conjugated verb.
