From Lesson 100:The preterite of regular -er and -ir verbs·Spanish (Latin America)

Questions & Answers about Luego, la chica vendió el disfraz.

Why is the verb for sold translated as vendió here?
Vendió is the she form in the preterite (past) tense of the regular -er verb vender (to sell). To form it, you drop the -er ending and add -ió.
Why does vendió need an accent mark on the last letter?
In the preterite tense, the regular he/she/it endings for -er and -ir verbs always have an accent on the final -ó. This tells you to put the spoken stress on that last syllable.
Both luego and entonces mean then. Why use luego here?
Both are correct, but they have a slight difference. Luego is often used for a sequence of events, meaning next or later. Entonces can also mean at that time or therefore. Since she is doing this after something else, luego fits perfectly.
If she sold multiple costumes, how would I spell the plural of disfraz?
You would write los disfraces. In Spanish, when a noun ends in -z like disfraz, the z changes to a c before adding the plural ending -es.
