Now that you learned how to write sentences in present tense, we are going to learn how to write sentences in past tense.
Before we begin, bear in mind that there are two forms of past tense; preterite and imperfect. In this chapter, you are going to learn about preterite.
Just like present tense, there is a pattern for past tense as well!
Here are the patterns...

As you can see, Spanish is an easy language to learn in my opinion. Once you memorise the pattern, you can conjugate most of the common verbs very easily. Also, some of the words are very similar to English which makes it easier. Here are some of Spanish Cognates) color is color, animal is animal, hospital is hospital, delicious is delicioso, and exact is exacto.
