Past, Present, Future - Regular verb -Ar-

Wow, it would be easy if you could live your life in the present tense.  Well, at least it would be easy to learn how to speak other languages, like Spanish.  Unfortunately, this isn't the case.  We need to be able to talk about what has happened in the past, and also what we are going to do in the future.  Because of that, in this Spanish grammar tutorial, we are going to cover how to conjugate AR verbs in Past (preterite), Present, and future tenses.  

Look at the following chart:
