[Help] A bit of Spanish help. Updates to this post /post/280316-a-bit-of-spanish-help Mon, 30 Nov 2009 12:33:19 +0100 Reply from trausmar /post/280316-a-bit-of-spanish-help#reply-5038204 again, you can use both variations.

Generalmente, mis fines de semana no eran importantes.
(Generally, my weekends were not important)

Or

Mis fines de semana, en general, no eran de gran importancia.
(My weekends, on general, weren’t of great importance)

So the correct conjugated verb you were looking for was: eran (were) of the verb ser (to be).

I = yo
you = tu (with apostrophe over u)
he/she/you (formal) = el (apostrophe over e)/ ella/ usted
nosotros = somos
they = ellos, ellas, or ustedes

Thank you, but I made a mistake in my question…I was wondering how to say…
“They were not important.” In preterite form. I searched for “ser” in preterite form, and it gave me the preterites of “ir”.

Plug that in and see what comes up.
You’ll then know if it makes sense or not.
