The preterit tense is the simple past tense of a verb. In English, the entire conjugation can usually be realized through the use of a single word (!). For example:

I talked

you talked

he, she, it talked

----------------------

we talked

you (all) talked

they talked

This is very unlike Spanish, which requires several different words to communicate the same meaning(s).

yo hablé

hablaste / usted habló

él, ella habló

-----------------------------

nosotros hablamos

vosotros hablasteis / ustedes hablaron

ellos hablaron
