¿Quién recogió los platos después de cenar?

There may be psychological advantages to living in the now, but wouldn’t it be nice to be able to say things about the past? After this section, you will be able to describe past events in Spanish!

We will be learning the preterite tense, which is one of the two simple past tenses in Spanish.

In English, the preterit is usually formed by adding –ed or –t to the base form of a verb. I walk, I walked. As you know, however, there are also irregular verbs in English: I go, I went.

The same is true of Spanish, which, as we’ve seen, has both regular and irregular verbs. In the section ahead, we will be focusing on the regular verbs, but we will get to the others soon!
