One of the most popular ways to express the past in Spanish is using the Preterite Tense, also known as "The Simple Past".
DOWNLOAD THE COURSE BOOK: spanishwithpaul.com/
Mini Course Series: • Spanish With Paul Mini...
Hello everyone and thanks for tuning into another one of my Spanish lessons!
To be conversationally fluent in Spanish you need to be able to express the past, the present and the future.
Of the three, the past is by far the most challenging to master.
This is because there are so many different ways you can talk about the past. For example...
I did it
I was doing it
I was about to do it
I was going to do it
I used to do it
I have done it
I had done it
I might have done it
having done it...
and more!
Needless to say, it's a big subject.
In this lesson I'm going to show you one of the more common ways to talk about the past in Spanish and I think you're going to find it VERY USEFUL :-)
Remember that this is just and introduction! In a 30 minute KZfaq lesson I can only scratch the surface of this vast topic.
Give the video a thumbs up if it helped you and don't forget to leave a comment to tell me how you did.
Finally, don't forget to subscribe, I now UPLOAD EVERY MONDAY :-)
See you next time!
Paul
P.S - My FULL 50 HOUR COURSE is now available! Go all the way into full conversational fluency in Spanish as well as getting 1-1 access to me to coach you every step of the way :-)

nice explanation. i've been watching lessons from Ana (butterfly Spanish) and Maria (WhyNotSpanish) and resisted your channel a bit because i wanted to learn from a native (none gringo) teacher, but i'm really glad i started with your lessons, you explain it really well and at a really good pace. Ana is too slow and Maria too fast. you re the Goldilocks of Spanish teachers. gracias

Paul - I think you're an incredible coach - I cannot afford your paid classes but these videos are so helpful. Learning a language takes dedication, patience and a lot of time - in my case, I think it will take years, but having structured videos like this are invaluable and they 'make sense' - and I'm extremely grateful you put the time and effort into these - thank you!!!

I am very pleased and impressed by the way you teach. I've learned more from your mini courses than I have in my 4 years of high school. Thank you so very much for making these helpful videos!! If I purchase the course will it make me fluent or do I have to surround myself with Spanish speaking people to become fluent in Spanish?

I highly recommend Paul's paid course, it is totally worth the money. His KZfaq videos are great, but his main course goes much more in depth. I just finished level 6, I am not fluent yet, but I definitely feel much more confident that I will be in this coming year (hopefully...).
@jimbob8199
@jimbob8199 Жыл бұрын
Levels 6-9 are where it gets really to another level. Once you finish the course, you’ll be good to go on the speaking, but one must always be improving the listening. I recommend watching the news in Spanish, because they articulate well. Also, I watch Caso Cerrado regularly to listen as different hispanohablantes express themselves in different manners, using different dialects and accents. We need great listening skills so we won’t get disappointed by not being able to understand idiomatic expressions that are commonly used by different native speakers.

@larrynarvaez7545
@larrynarvaez7545 3 жыл бұрын
In using gustar (like) and encantar (love), what is liked or loved becomes the subject and who likes or loves becomes the direct object. For examples, 1. “I like to learn Spanish” becomes “To learn Spanish likes (pleases) me”. So, it becomes “Me gusta aprender español”. 2. “I loved the lessons” becomes “The lessons loved (enchanted) me”. So, it becomes “Me encantaron las lecciones”. 😊✌️

I say it, but also write it - in order to become familiar with writing where the `accentuations` lay. I know nothing about languages, having spent most of my life concentrating on maths and science. But it seems to me that learning a language is as much about using ones eyes as ones ears. I came across Paul`s videos about a week ago and am getting about 99% of what is asked correct in both speaking and writing. I don`t suppose for a moment that things are going to remain this easy.

Paul is right. The full extent of the preterite (to say nothing of its uses in contrast to the imperfect) is really beyond the scope of these mini-lessons. However, I can give you the full conjugation of "hablar" as an example of a regular -ar verb: hablé, hablaste, habló, hablamos, hablasteis, hablaron. The endings are the same for all -ar verbs; any irregularities are in the STEM (the only two exceptions I can think of are estar "to be" and andar "to walk"). Also, unless you plan to spend a lot of time in Spain, you really won't need to use the "vosotros" forms. "Vosotros" is only used in Spain. Everywhere else, the plural of "tú" is "ustedes."
