  3. Connecting: • We also conjugate verbs according to WHEN the action takes place (tense) • The preterite tense is used to describe an action completed in the PAST. • Just like in the present tense, we conjugate verbs in the preterite by dropping the –ar, -er, -ir and adding the appropriate endings.
