Past Tense

Question

When a verb becomes past tense, it loses the information containing who performed the verb, right? Like "dormido" meaning "slept". How would you say "I slept, you slept, he slept (etc)..."
Would it be "Yo dormido" or something else? Thank you!

Answer 1

(Yo) estaba dormido/a. - I was asleep.
Estabas dormido/a. - You were asleep.

etc.

That is not past tense, but a past participle, and it cannot function as a verb. It requires another verb with tense, person and number information, or it can be used as an adjective. "Dormido" means "asleep" or "slept" (in "I have slept"), actually. In preterite tense, this verb is:(yo) dormí(tú) dormiste(él) durmió(nosotros) dormimos(vosotros) dormisteis(ellos) durmieron
