Hola a todos. In this lesson, we’ll be continuing with the preterite. This time, we’re covering regular -er verbs. But just like with -ar verbs, the -er stem changers can be lumped into this group as well. Irregulars are a completely different story and those will eventually be covered! Enjoy!
In
this video, we will learn more about conjugating the verbs into the
preterite.As in the last video, we will work with regular -er verbs.
So,
let's review the rules of the last video by conjugating an -ER verb
in the present and the preterite.
vender
(To sell) Present Tense
yo
vendo nosotros/nosotras vendemos
(I
sell) (we sell)
tú
vendes vosotros/vosotras vendéis
(you

informal used in Spain.
él
vende ellos venden
(he
sells) (they sell)
ella

(she
sells) (they sell)

vender
(To sell) Preterite
yo

(I

tú

él

(he
sold) (they sold)
ella
vendió ellas vendieron
(she
sold) (they sold)
usted
vendió ustedes vendieron
(you

plural formal in Spain
Notice:
-AR
verbs:
Nosotros
in the present and the preterite is the same.
-ER
verbs:
Nosotros
in the present and the preterite is different.
So,
when the verb has to ee like in leer and creer, they look a bit
different. We are going to conjugate them in the present tense and
the preterite tense and see the changes.
Present
Tense -leer (to read)
yo
leo nosotros/nosotras leemos
(I
read) (we read)
tú
lees vosotros/vosotras leéis
(you
read) (you read)
informal used in Spain.
él
lee ellos leen
(he
reads) (they read)
ella
lee ellas leen
(she
reads) (they read )
usted
lee ustedes leen
(you
read) (you read)
formal plural
formal in Spain
leer (To read) Preterite
yo
leí nosotros/nosotras leímos
(I
read) (we read )
tú
leiste vosotros/vosotras leísteis
(you
read) (you read)
informal used in Spain.
él
leyó ellos leyeron
(he
read) (they read)
ella
leyó ellas leyeron
(she
read) (they read)
usted
leyó ustedes leyeron
(you
read) formal (you read)
Notice
the changes from “i” to “y”. That is because the “i” is
between two vowels and is weaker. The “y” having a similar sound
it is use in its place.
Él
leyó instead of leió (sounds different and difficult)
ellos
leyeron instead of leieron.
Like
leer (to read), there is creer (to believe)
Present
Tense creer (to believe)
yo
creo nosotros/nosotras creemos
(I
believe) (we believe)
tú
crees vosotros/vosotras creéis
(you

él

(he
believes) (they believe)
ella

(she
believes) (they believe)
usted

Preterite
Tense creer (to believe)
yo
creí nosotros/nosotras creimos
