IWhat to watch for

Entrar is regular in the preterite: entré, entraste, entró, entramos, entrasteis, entraron. The accent separates entró (he went in) from entro (I go in), and entramos is the same in the present and the preterite.

It narrates entrances (cuando entré en la sala, todos se callaron), break-ins (el ladrón entró por la ventana), starting a job (entró a trabajar en 2019) and sudden feelings: de repente me entró hambre.
