El Preterito Indefinido

Hola,

Why do we only conjugate -ar verbs in the preterito indefinido tense? What about -er and -ir verbs?

Also, is the preterito indefinido the same as the simple past tense?

Gracias

Hola Sheila

The Pretérito Indefinido is the simple past tense, also called sometimes "the preterite".

The lesson about conjugation of -er and -ir verbs in the Indefinido is in a link at the bottom of that lesson. Have a look here

Saludos
