Lets try a few forms! Estar: yo _________ tú _________ ella _________ nosotros _________ vosotros _________ ellos _________

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

Volver… yo volvía tú volvías ella volvía nosotros volvíamos vosotros volvíais ellos volvían Volver is a stem-changing verb in the present, but stem-changing verbs dont change in the imperfect! How about decir?

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

Levantarse… yo me levantaba tú te levantabas ella se levantaba nosotros nos levantábamos vosotros os levantabais ellos se levantaban Reflexive verbs work the same as in the present – dont forget to put the reflexive pronoun in front of the verb!
