| you will also be able to differentiate between ir and ser in the preterit because IR is often followed by the preposition "a." | examples: Ernesto fue a la tienda (Ernesto went to the store.) fue is the IR conjugated form for "he,she, it" |
| the nosotros/as forms of the preterit of -ar and -ir verbs are the same in the present tense and the preterit. Context will help you determine if nosotros/as verb forms are present or past. | true; example: Llegamos a la tienda a las tres (we arrive at the store at three or we arrived at the store at three.) |
