Step-by-step explanation:

⭐ What is the preterite form of a verb?

• The preterite form of a verb is another way for saying the past tense of a verb

⭐ Every verb has different endings, such as:

• -ar
• -er
• -ir

⭐Each verb ending will have its own respective conjugations in the preterite form.

⭐ What are the conjugations of an -ar verb in the preterite form? Let's use the verb comprar as an example.

• Yo compré

• Tú comprate
• Él/ella/usted compró
• Nosotros(as) compramos
• Vosotros(as) comprasteis
• Usetdes/ellos(as) compraron

⭐ As you can see, to conjugate an -ar verb in the preterite, you follow these steps:

1. Drop the -ar ending
2. Look at the subject (before the verb)
3. Determine which subject pronoun the subject uses
4. Conjugate the verb by attaching an ending to the verb (bolded in the above ⭐) depending on the subject pronoun
