Step-by-step explanation:

Thanks to the VERBAL TENSES we can express actions and states of being on different points of time. In Spanish we have 5 simple tenses:

1. PRESENTE: Yo bailo (I dance)
2. PASADO/PRETÉRITO: Yo bailé (I danced)
3. FUTURO: Yo bailaré (I will dance)
4. COPRETÉRITO: Yo bailaría (I would dance)
5. POSPRETÉRITO: Yo bailaría (I would dance)

Now we will focus our attention in the second one:

PAST OR PRETERITE

PAST TENSE: It is used to refer to actions that already happened. In Spanish, simple past is a perfective tense, which means that the actions or states of being expressed have already ended by the moment that is enounced.

We express past through the verb conjugation, so we need to attend the grammatical rules to construct verbs in past.

Now, we have the answers, please put special attention to how the verbs are conjugated:
