\u00a1Hola! Soy el profesor Torres y mi celebraci\u00f3n favorita es el D\u00eda de los Reyes Magos. El a\u00f1o pasado yo lo pas\u00e9<\/strong> con mi esposa y nuestro hijo Lorenzo, su esposo Luis y nuestros nietos. Por la tarde del 5 de enero yo compr\u00e9<\/strong> la rosca de Reyes y por la noche fui<\/strong> a ver el desfile con la familia. Despu\u00e9s de regresar a casa, ayud\u00e9<\/strong> a los ni\u00f1os a escribir sus cartas para los Reyes. El 6 de enero llev\u00e9<\/strong> a los ni\u00f1os a un centro cultural para una fiesta con una pi\u00f1ata. Despu\u00e9s a llegar a casa yo prepar\u00e9<\/strong> el chocolate caliente y serv\u00ed<\/strong> la rosca de Reyes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t[caption id=\"attachment_83\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"260\"]\"An Professor Torres<\/span>.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

The preterite is used to discuss actions completed in the past. Notice that when conjugating of -ar<\/strong> verbs in the first person (yo<\/strong>), they end in -\u00e9,<\/strong> and both -er<\/strong> and -ir<\/strong> verbs end in \u00ed<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n
