Conjugation Practice
¡Conjuguemos! is a great site to practice conjugating. There you are able to select the tense(s) you want to practice. Which verbs you want to focus on and which pronouns.
Basically all that means is that if you want to practice irregular preterite stems you choose that category. Then if you are struggling the most with the 'yo' and 'él' conjugations because you forget they don't have accents, you can select just those two pronouns. Then if you want to practice all the irregulars or just certain verbs you can choose those verbs (the list include caber, which most students don't learn until more advanced level Spanish classes).
Finally you choose how many minutes you want to practice and off you go! At the end it will tell you how many conjugations you attempted and how many you got right. It's also really easy to add in accents. All you do is type the letter and then click on the "add accent" button.
Remember it is good to also practice with verbs that you don't know. Just because you don't know what the verb means, doesn't mean you can't figure out what to do with it!
Have fun practicing!

Preterite vs. Imperfect Video
This video will help you understand some of the uses between the two past tenses. It includes example sentences for you to choose which one to use in the sentence.
There are a few errors on the video, but overall I think it has good information. The errors seem to have been tagged already, so you will see the corrections on the video.
Have fun watching it!

Pronouns
You have a lot of pronouns; subject, reflexive, direct object and indirect object.
When are they used and what are they?

Preterite Quiz
This quiz is pretty long and intense, but it hits a lot of problematic areas of the preterite and face it, there are a lot of them! It is set to not show quite every questions every time, so you will get a slightly different quiz each time you take it!
