Past tenses

The Simple Past is used to describe a complete action. To form past tenses, it’s helpful to remember this:
  • Most past tense verbs end in -ed, certain verbs have irregular past tense forms that do not follow this rule.
Be, have, and do are the most commonly used irregular verbs. Unfortunately, memorizing these irregular verbs is the only way to completely master the past tense.


Past of the verb to be.

Simple Past . VERB TO BE.

I was Yo era / fui / estaba / estuve
You were Tú eras / fuiste / estabas / estuviste
He was Él era / fue / estaba / estuvo
She was Ella era / fue / estaba / estuvo
It was Ello era / fue / estaba / estuvo
We were Nosotros / éramos / fuimos / estábamos / estuvimos
You were Vosotros / érais / fuisteis / estabais / estuvisteis
