The imperfect tense is used in Spanish to describe: Repeated actions in the past: Comíamos a las dos todos los días. (we ate at two every day.) Backgrounds details (what someone or something was like or was doing): El hotel era muy grande. ( The hotel was very big.) What people used to do and what things used to be like: Antes vivía con mis abuelos, pero ahora vivo sola. ( I used to live with my grandparents, but I live on my own now.)

Each of the following sentences contains an example of the imperfect tense. Hablaba español y francés. El hotel tenía una piscina climatizada. Mis abuelos vivían en Madrid. What is the first thing you notice about this tense? Look at the highlighted words in each sentence. As a reminder to you, here is the imperfect Tense of –ar/-er/-ir
