    Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The preterite tense in Spanish is used to talk about actions that were completed in the past. To conjugate regular -ir verbs, you typically follow a pattern:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • -ir verbs<\/strong>: The endings for the preterite tense are:<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • yo<\/em> (I) \u2013 -\u00ed<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • t\u00fa<\/em> (you) \u2013 -iste<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u00e9l\/ella\/usted<\/em> (he\/she\/you formal) \u2013 -i\u00f3<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • nosotros\/nosotras<\/em> (we) \u2013 -imos<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • ustedes\/ellos\/ellas<\/em> (you all\/they) \u2013 -ieron<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      However, some verbs are irregular<\/strong> in the preterite tense, and you will need to memorize their unique forms. For example, verbs like preferir<\/em>, divertirse<\/em>, sentirse<\/em>, morir<\/em>, and dormir<\/em> are stem-changing verbs. Specifically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • preferir<\/strong> has a stem change from “e” to “i” in the third person (singular and plural).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • divertirse<\/strong> and sentirse<\/strong> also undergo stem changes (e \u2192 i) and require reflexive pronouns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • dormir<\/strong> and morir<\/strong> change the “o” to “u” in the third person singular and plural.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        For the reflexive verbs (like re\u00edrse<\/em>, divertirse<\/em>, sentirse<\/em>, and vestirse<\/em>), don\u2019t forget to include the reflexive pronouns (me, te, se, nos, se) in the correct form for the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
