This one goes after the past tense — specifically the preterite, the tense you need to talk about what happened yesterday, last week, last year. The tense that makes Spanish feel like it has a memory. Ayer fui. Ayer comí. Ayer hablé. Ayer vi. Yesterday I went. Yesterday I ate. Yesterday I talked. Yesterday I saw. One word — ayer — unlocks the whole thing. Because once you hear these endings enough times — fui, comí, hablé, vi — your brain stops translating and starts recognizing. And then producing. Verse 1 Yesterday — Ayer Today — Hoy Tomorrow — Mañana Before — Antes Yesterday again — Ayer Just yesterday — Ayer Chorus Yesterday I went — Ayer fui Yesterday I ate — Ayer comí Yesterday I talked — Ayer hablé Yesterday I saw — Ayer vi Verse 2 Yesterday I listened — Ayer escuché Yesterday I tried — Ayer intenté Yesterday I learned — Ayer aprendí Yesterday I walked — Ayer caminé Chorus Yesterday I went — Ayer fui Yesterday I ate — Ayer comí Yesterday I talked — Ayer hablé Yesterday I saw — Ayer vi Verse 3 Yesterday I went out — Ayer salí Yesterday I studied — Ayer estudié Yesterday I practiced — Ayer practiqué Yesterday I spoke — Ayer hablé Chorus Yesterday I went — Ayer fui Yesterday I ate — Ayer comí Yesterday I talked — Ayer hablé Yesterday I saw — Ayer vi Bridge Yesterday I went to the store — Ayer fui a la tienda Today I'm here with you — Hoy estoy contigo Little by little — Poco a poco I'm learning too — También estoy aprendiendo Final Chorus Yesterday I went — Ayer fui Yesterday I ate — Ayer comí Yesterday I talked — Ayer hablé Yesterday I saw — Ayer vi   The pattern to notice: the preterite tense endings tell you everything — fui, comí, hablé, vi, salí, aprendí. Each one means "I did this yesterday." The song repeats ayer before every single verb so your brain locks the time word to the tense automatically. By the final chorus you won't need the English. You'll just know. The irregular ones worth noting: fui (from ir — to go) and vi (from ver — to see) look nothing like their infinitives. This song puts them right next to the regular ones so your ear absorbs them without making a big deal of it. How to use this song: say each Spanish line out loud before the English comes — even from the very first listen, let ayer become the trigger word that pulls the past tense out automatically, and notice how the bridge connects past to present — ayer fui, hoy estoy — yesterday and today in the same breath.
