The Preterite (simple past) Tense

The Preterite tense is also known as the "simple past" tense. It's where one would explain something that happened. In Spanish, there are 2 types of past tenses, one is the preterite, and the other one is the imperfect. I will not show the imperfect tense yet, as to not confuse the learner. When I learned Spanish, I learned them both together which was very confusing at times. In school, I teach one the first semester and the second one the second semester, so I will, at a later time, share the imperfect tense.
