2 The Imperfect In this presentation, we will look at another way of talking about the past.

3 Remember this? We’ve already learned one way of talking about the past: the preterite. It’s used to describe single actions that started and ended in the past, like the events you wrote about in your news articles!

4 OK, what are the forms? The imperfect tense is probably the easiest form to learn because there are only three irregulars!!!! The next screen will show you the endings for verbs that end in –AR.

5 Endings for ALL –AR Verbs -aba -abas -aba -ábamos -aban

6 Some examples, please! hablarcantar hablabacantaba hablabascantabas hablabacantaba hablábamoscantábamos hablabancantaban Easy, huh? Just add the –s to make the the tú form,-mos for nosotros, and –n for ellos/ellas. Don’t forget the accent on the nosotros form!

7 How about for –ER & -IR? Below are the endings! -ía -ías -ía -íamos -ían Same way… just add the –s to make the the tú form,-mos for nosotros, and –n for ellos/ellas. Don’t forget the accent on the all the forms!

8 Some examples?? comervivir comía vivía comías vivías comía vivía comíamosvivíamos comían vivían Same way… just add the –s to make the the tú form,-mos for nosotros, and –n for ellos/ellas. Don’t forget the accent on the all the forms!

9 Let’s try a few forms! Estar: yo _________ tú _________ ella ________ nosotros _________ ellos __________

10 Estar… yo estaba tú estabas ella estaba nosotros estábamos ellos estaban How about volver?

11 Volver… yo volvía tú volvías ella volvía nosotros volvíamos ellos volvían Volver is a stem-changing verb in the present, but stem-changing verbs don’t change in the imperfect! How about conocer?

12 Conocer… yo conocía tú conocías ella conocía nosotros conocíamos ellos conocían Conocer is irregular in the present, but not in the imperfect! How about decir?

13 Decir… yo decía tú decías ella decía nosotros decíamos ellos decían Decir is stem-changing and irregular in both the present and the preterite, but it’s regular in the imperfect! How about levantarse?

14 Levantarse… yo me levantaba tú te levantabas ella se levantaba nosotros nos levantábamos ellos se levantaban Reflexive verbs work the same as in the present – don’t forget to put the reflexive pronoun in front of the verb! How about those three irregulars?

15 Now for the 3 irregulars! S Now for the 3 irregulars! Ser, ir, ver serirver eraibaveía erasibas veías eraiba veía éramosíbamos veíamos eranibanveían That’s all, folks – no other irregular imperfect forms in Spanish! Cheers and thunderous applause, please!!!

16 A piece of cake! The forms are that simple! We’ll look at the differences between the two past forms – the preterite and the imperfect – in a later slide show.
