What we review

The past tense and its time expressions: ontem, anteontem, na semana passada, no mês passado. It's for things that are over. Three conjugations: falei, falaste, falou, falámos, falaram; comi, comeste, comeu, comemos, comeram; abri, abriste, abriu, abrimos, abriram. Four special verbs: fui (ser and ir), estive, tive, fiz. And the order of events: primeiro, a seguir, depois, então, no fim — on the line yesterday, today, tomorrow.
The past tense: -ar verbs (falar)

The ending shows the person, so you can leave out the subject.
