2.1.1 Formation of pretérito indefinido
Again the same rule applies. First find the stem (for regular verbs take the infinitive ending away) and append the verb with the endings of the indefinido.
Regular verbs
comer recibir tomar
stem: com- stem: recib- stem: tom-
yo com yo recib yo tom
tú com-íste tú recib-íste tú tom-aste
él com-ió él recib-ió él tom
nosotros com-imos nosotros recib-imos nosotros tom-amos
vosotros com-ísteis vosotros recib-ísteis vosotros tom-asteis
ellos com-ieron ellos recib-ieron ellos tom-aron

For the indefinido there are quite a few irregular verbs. We'll have a look at them in Intermediate Lesson 2.5.
