Explanation:

The preterite is used to talk about actions that begin and end in the past. In the case of regular verbs, there're two possible endings: one for the verbs that end with "ar", and other for the verbs that end in "er" and "ir". To conjugate regular verbs in the preterite, the ending of the verb must be removed and completed with the correspondent ending. In this exercise the verbs that end with "ar" are:

- trabajar: the preterite for the third person of the singular is trabajó

- terminar: the preterite for the third person of the plural is trabajaron

The verbs that end with "er" and "ir" are:

- comprender: the preterite for the first person of the singular is comprendí

- comer: the preterite for the third person of the plural is comieron.

- escribir: the preterite for the third person of the singular is escribió

- vivir: the preterite for the third person of the singular is vivió
