The Imperfect The other past tense…

¿Recuerdas? 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. Examples: Tomaron el examen el lunes pasado. Gabriela recibió la mejor nota de todos los estudiantes. El año pasado, fui a Costa Rica de vacaciones. Lo pasé muy bien. Pedro se levantó, fue al baño, y se duchó. Pedro got up, went to the bathroom and showered

But what about…? … actions that happen more than once in the past? I used to live in Peoria. Every Christmas the whole family would get together for a big dinner. … actions that started in the past but didn’t finish (as far as we know): I was walking to work when I saw an accident. She was tired and hungry.

The Imperfect Tense  actions repeated in the past  Yo iba a la casa de mis abuelos  unfinished actions in the past  Yo trabajaba mucho  descriptions about the past  Eran las tres de la tarde y hacía frio Think about it: “perfect” means “complete,” so when a past action is incomplete, it is “imperfect.”

Uses of the imperfect Use the imperfect to express actions, conditions, and events that: were in progress at some time in the past (“was …ing”). occurred repeatedly in the past (“used to” or “would”). were anticipated or planned (“was going to”).

OK, what are the forms? There are two sets of endings… -AR: add –aba to the base ER/IR: add –ía to the base The imperfect tense is probably the easiest form to learn because there are only three irregulars.

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!

How about for –ER & -IR? 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!

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

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

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?

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?

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?

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!

they were eating they used to eat (would eat) ellos comían yo leía I was reading I used to read (would read) we used to write we were writing (would write) nosotras escribíamos Ejemplos
