THE IMPERFECT TENSE: REGULAR VERBS

PRETERITE You have already learned to talk about the past using the preterite tense for actions that began and ended at a definite time.

PRETERITE Ana cantó en la fiesta anoche. Ana sang at the party last night. Completed past action

IMPERFECT The imperfect tense is another way to talk about the past. We use it to describe actions without any indication of their beginning or end.

IMPERFECT Ana cantaba. Ana was singing. No indication of beginning or end.

IMPERFECT We use the imperfect to talk about actions that happened repeatedly in the past. In English we often say “used to” or “would” to express this idea.

IMPERFECT Caminaban mucho. They would walk a lot.

IMPERFECT Jugaban con otros niños de la familia. They used to play with other children in the family. Most present tense irregular verbs/stem- changers only are irregular/stem-change in present tense.

IMPERFECT Expressions such as generalmente, a menudo, muchas veces, todos los días, siempre, and nunca can cue us to use the imperfect.

IMPERFECT Here are all the forms of -ar verbs in the imperfect. Notice the accent mark on the nosotros form.

Yo camin aba Tú camin abas Él Ella camin aba Ud. Nos. camin ábamos Vos. camin abais Ellos Ellas camin aban Uds. CAMINAR (TO WALK)

Since the yo and the Ud./él/ella forms are the same, we often use the subject pronouns to avoid confusion. Imperfect

IMPERFECT Let’s do a few more verbs.

Yo patin aba Tú patin abas Él Ella patin aba Ud. Nos. patin ábamos Vos. patin abais Ellos Ellas patin aban Uds. PATINAR (TO SKATE)

Yo us aba Tú us abas Él Ella us aba Ud. Nos. us ábamos Vos. us abais Ellos Ellas us aban Uds. USAR (TO USE)

Yo jug aba Tú jug abas Él Ella jug aba Ud. Nos. jug ábamos Vos. jug abais Ellos Ellas jug aban Uds. JUGAR (TO PLAY) REMEMBER: JUGAR IS ONLY A STEM-CHANGER IN PRESENT TENSE!

IMPERFECT Now we will learn the -er/-ir verb endings in the imperfect tense.

Yo com ía Tú com ías Él Ella com ía Ud. Nos. com íamos Vos. com íais Ellos Ellas com ían Uds. COMER (TO EAT)

Yo viv ía Tú viv ías Él Ella viv ía Ud. Nos. viv íamos Vos. viv íais Ellos Ellas viv ían Uds. VIVIR (TO LIVE)

Let’s review once more.

Yo com ía Tú com ías Él Ella com ía Ud. Nos. com íamos Vos. com íais Ellos Ellas com ían Uds. COMER (TO EAT)

Yo viv ía Tú viv ías Él Ella viv ía Ud. Nos. viv íamos Vos. viv íais Ellos Ellas viv ían Uds. VIVIR (TO LIVE)
