Grammar Point: past tense

Verbs change their ending to indicate that an action took place in the past. For example, hablo ("I speak"), but hablé ("I spoke"). The specific verb ending used depends on the subject. Note also that some verbs follow an irregular pattern. For example, hacer: hice ("I did"), poner: puse ("I put"), ser: fui ("I was"). You can learn more about verbs in the past tense here.
