Answer:

1) fui

2)era

3)tuve

4) llamó

5)me duchaba

Step-by-step explanation:

La semana pasada yo fui a la clínica San Jose por primera vez.

Last week, I went to the San Jose clinic for the first time.

The verb we have here is an irregular verb and it's SER, to be. It has to be memorized by heart in order to be used properly.

There are two verbs that mean to be, SER and ESTAR.

Ser is used for more permanent things, for origins, characteristics, possessions and identity, while ESTAR we have to conjugate so it matches the subject in the sentence.

The verb (SER) in this sentence is in the PRETERITE perfect tense. It's in the first person singular form.

La sala de espera era grande y las sillas muy cómodos pero yo tuve que esperar mucho tiempo.

The waiting room was big and the chairs were comfortable but I had to wait for a long time.

We have two verbs in this sentence -- SER ( the one I mentioned in the first sentence ) and TENER.

Tener is a verb that belongs to the second group of verbs, ending in ER.

It's an irregular verb.

In this sentence, era is in the third person singular form and tuve is in the first person singular form. Tuve is in preterite tense while era is in imperfect tense.

The conjugation for this verb, in the simple present:

Yo tengo Nosotros tenemos

Tu tienes Vosotros tenéis

El/Ella/Uds. tiene Uds./Ellos/Ellas tienen

In this sentence, the verb TENER ( to have ) is in the PRETERITE tense.

Ayer, cuando Ignacio me llamó, yo me duchaba.

Late, when Ignacio called me, I was taking a shower.

The verbs we used here are -- LLAMAR ( to call ) and DUCHAR ( to shower, to take a shower )

Llamar is a regular verb and it belongs to the first group of verbs as it ends in AR. In this sentence, it's in PRETERITE tense and it's in the third person singular form.

Another verb is DUCHAR, it's also a verb that's regular. It belongs to the first group of verbs ending in AR. The tense is in imperfect, and it's in the first person singular form.
