Answer Key for Conjugating Regular AR Verbs in the Preterite Tense

To form the past tense of -AR words, remove the -AR ending and replace it with the following endings: -é for “I”, -aste for “you” (informal), -ó for “he/she/it”, -amos for “we”, -asteis for “you all” (informal plural), and -aron for “they”.

For example, the verb hablar (to speak) becomes hablé (I spoke), hablaste (you spoke), habló (he/she spoke), hablamos (we spoke), hablasteis (you all spoke), and hablaron (they spoke).

Reviewing conjugation patterns with consistent practice can significantly improve your ability to use past tense forms. Familiarize yourself with the endings and apply them to various regular words to reinforce your understanding.
