Preterite
The Spanish preterite tense is likely to be your first exploration into past tense Spanish. Preterite Spanish is used to describe past actions that were already completed, with a clear beginning or ending.
In Spanish, this simple past tense is usually called el préterito indefinido, while it’s also sometimes known as el pasado simple. In English, this tense is often referred to as the Spanish simple past tense, but since the Spanish imperfect is also a simple tense, we generally refer to this tense by its direct translation: the Spanish preterite tense.
me
me ot to me
Me entiendes? Do you understand me?
no me importa I don’t mind.
