The Imperfect another way of talking about the past

 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. –Examples: –Tomaron el examen el lunes pasado. Gabriela recibió la mejor nota. –El año pasado, fui a Costa Rica. –Pedro se levantó, fue al baño, y se duchó.

What about…? … actions that happen more than once in the past? I used to live in Chicago. Every Christmas the whole family would get together for a big dinner.

Or how about…? … 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 These ideas – -actions repeated in the past -unfinished actions in the past -descriptions about the past are expressed using a different verb tense, called the “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”)

Just DUWIT D – description U – Used to W – was, were…-ing I – Inside verbs (querer, saber, conocer, pensar) T – Time/Tiempo (weather)

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

Some examples CantarHablar cantaba hablaba cantabashablabas cantaba hablaba cantábamos hablábamos cantabaishablabais cantabanhablaban

How about for –ER & -IR? vivirComer vivíacomía vivíascomías vivía comía vivíamos comíamos vivíais comíais vivían comían

Let’s try a few forms! Estar: yo _________ tú _________ ella ________ nosotros _________ vosotros ________ ellos __________ estaba estabas estaba estábamos estabais estaban

Volver: yo _________ tú _________ ella ________ nosotros _________ vosotros ________ ellos __________ volvía volvías volvía volvíamos volvíais volvían Volver is a stem-changing verb in the present, but stem- changing verbs don’t change in the imperfect!

conocer: yo _________ tú _________ ella ________ nosotros _________ vosotros ________ ellos __________ conocía conocías conocía conocíamos conocíais conocían Conocer is irregular in the present, but not in the imperfect!

levantarse: yo _________ tú _________ ella ________ nosotros _________ vosotros ________ ellos __________ me levantaba te levantabas se levantaba nos levantábamos os levantabais se levantaban Reflexive verbs work the same as in the present – don’t forget to put the reflexive pronoun in front of the verb!

Ir, ser, ver irserver ibaeraveía ibaserasveías ibaeraveía íbamoséramos veíamos ibaiseraisveíais ibaneranveían That’s all, folks – no other irregular imperfect forms

Phrases that set off the imperfect  Siempre  Todo el tiempo  Cada lunes  Muchas veces  Mientras  Cuando era niño…  Cuando tenía ____ años…  De niño  Generalmente  Any other word that may set off a continual motion in the past!
