Regular Past Tense

Regular Past Tense

The pretérito perfeito is the past tense you reach for to say "I did", "I went", "I ate". For regular verbs, drop the infinitive ending and add these:

Pronoun -ar (falar) -er (comer) -ir (abrir)
Eu falei comi abri
Você / Ele / Ela falou comeu abriu
Nós falamos comemos abrimos
Vocês / Eles / Elas falaram comeram abriram

Notice "nós falamos" is identical to the present tense. Context (and a time word like ontem) tells you which one.
