| We use the preterite tense in Spanish to talk about actions that were completed at a specific time in the past. |
| Let's quickly review how the preterite is formed for three common types of regular verbs: |
| llegar (to arrive): |
| llegué, llegaste, llegó, llegamos, llegasteis, llegaron |
| comer (to eat): |
| comí, comiste, comió, comimos, comisteis, comieron |
| vivir (to live): |
| viví, viviste, vivió, vivimos, vivisteis, vivieron |
| In the dialogue, we saw: |
| llegué – from llegar, meaning "I arrived," used to describe a completed action in the past. |
| In this lesson, we'll keep practicing how to use these verbs to talk about specific events and experiences that have already happened. |
| Let's get started. |
