THE IMPERFECT TENSE

The imperfect tense in Spanish is used to describe things that used to happen places,objects and people (in the past) give background description that is secondary to the main action.

It is formed by taking the stem of the infinitive and adding the endings as follows: -AR verbs e.g. hablar Yo hablaba Nosotros hablábamos Tú hablabas Vosotros hablabais Él/ella/usted hablaba Ellos/ellas/ustedes hablaban

-ER verbs E.g. comer Yo comía Nosotros comíamos Tú comías Vosotros comíais Él/ella/usted comía Ellos/ellas/ustedes comían

-IR verbs E.g. vivir Nosotros vivíamos Yo vivía Vosotros vivíais Tú vivías Él/ella/usted vivía Ellos/ellas/ustedes vivían

Guess the good news?

There are only three irregular verbs in the imperfect!

IR IBA IBAS ÍBAMOS IBAIS IBAN SER ERA ERAS ÉRAMOS ERAIS ERAN

VER VEÍA VEÍAS VEÍAMOS VEÍAIS VEÍAN

The imperfect The preterite The imperfect sets the scene in the past and the preterite ‘crashes’into it, with a single action.
