Warm-up. Students will obtain their text books from the shelves. They

Give each student a Spanish Past Tense flip chart sheet. This is meant to
be a resource for the student to use in order to compare the preterit and
the imperfect tenses as well as to show when to use them. These are not
collected for a grade but will be very useful handouts for students to refer
back too through the unit.
Explain to the students that there are two past tenses in Spanish: The
Preterit and the Imperfect and that these are used in different situations.
The preterit is used to discuss an event that can be viewed as being
completed. It also is used to interrupt an event which is occurring in the
past while the imperfect primarily sets the stage in story telling or shows
habitual events. We will be looking at each of these tenses separately.
Remind students that there are many different tenses (simple and
compound) in Spanish. Also each of these will have separate endings
which will need to be memorized in order to correctly conjugate the verb
in the desired tense. Tell students that today we are going to go over the
REGULAR preterit tense endings. This means that all of the verbs which
follow the normal pattern of conjugation will follow these same steps and
have these endings.
Students should write these endings in the note page (Flip Charts)
provided them:
-AR Preterit Endings
-ER/-IR Preterit Endings
É
AMOS
Í
IMOS
ASTE
ASTEIS
ISTE
ISTEIS
Ó
ARON
IÓ
IERON
Explain that accent marks are crucial in the preterit tense. Use the
example:
HABLO vs. HABLÓ (I Speak [present tense] vs. He or She Spoke
[preterit tense])
Accent marks will be expected on all assignments when we are working
with the preterit tense.
