I'm pretty sure thats just prederite. Which means the endings are

yo-e
tu-aste
el-o
ellos-aron
nosotros-amos

Thats for ar verbs, just change the a's to e's for i and er verbs I think

i'll try to explain it the best way i can... preterito perfecto is a way to conjugate a verb, and it used for actions that happened in the past... for example you use preterito perfecto in this sentences:
it has rained a lot this year
i have worked  like crazy
things that happened in the past but they kind of still last in the present

It is a completed action in the past, while imperfect is a continuous action in the past.

Preterite = I did someone

Imperfect = I was doing someone


Preterite regular verbs go like this

-ar verbs -er verbs -ir verbs
yo -é -í -í
tú -aste -iste -iste
él -ó -ió -ió
nosotros -amos -imos -imos
vosotros -asteis -isteis -isteis
ellos -aron -ieron -ieron

dude that translator really doesnt help all that much. it doesnt conjugate or anything, it just literally translates the words.  like the word 'washington' would be translated into 'washing' and 'ton'.  it kind of sucks but its still kind of usefull
