Conjugation of regular -ar verbs in the preterite indicative

-ar verbs are the most common of all Spanish verbs, and new verbs which enter the language are most likely to become -ar verbs as well. Here are the regular endings in the preterite indicative:

 SingularPlural
First Person-amos
Second Person-aste-asteis
Third Person-aron

Thus:

hablarSingularPlural
First Personhabléhablamos
Second Personhablastehablasteis
Third Personhablóhablaron

It is interesting to note that the preterite indicative is the only tense/mode in which the form does not end in an s. In all of the other tenses in Spanish, the form always end in an s.
