You either use the preterite or imperfect tense. Preterite is used when the action is completed (we talked for 1 hour) and imperfect is used when it is unknown if the action has ended (we were talking/ used to talk).

Preterite endings(-ar verbs: hablar as example)

Yo: hablé Nosotros: hablamos

Tú: hablaste

él/ella/ Ud.:habló Ellas/Ellos/Uds: hablaron

Preterite endigs( -er/ir verbs: comer as example)

Yo: comí Nosotros: comimos

Tú: comiste

él/ella/ud: com Ellos/ella/uds: comieron

Imperfect endings (-ar verbs)

Yo: hablaba Nosotros: hablábamos

Túhablabas

él/ella/ud: hablaba Ellos/ellas/uds: hablaban

Imperfect endings (er/ir verbs)

Yo: comía Nosotros: comíamos

Tú: comías

él/ella/ud: comía Ellos/ellas/uds: comían
