The imperfect tense The first past tense that you learnt in Spanish was the preterite tense. This describes single completed actions that took place at a particular time in the past and had a clear beginning and end. You are now going to learn the imperfect tense. This has two main uses: 1. To say what someone used to do or what used to happen over a longer and vaguer time frame (i.e. when I was little) 2. To describe a scene or say what something was like. For example: Llovía mucho y la gente era antipática (It was raining a lot and the people were unpleasant).

The imperfect tense Fortunately, the imperfect is fairly easy to form. It has two sets of endings and only three irregulars. The endings are as follows: hablar comer decidir yo tú él/ella nosotros vosotros ellos/as hablaba hablabas hablábamos hablabais hablaban comía comías comíamos comíais comían decidía decidías decidíamos decidíais decidían
