2 El Imperfecto In Spanish, there are two main tenses that talk about the past, the Preterit and Imperfect

3 Remember this? Here is the preterite: 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.

4 What about these? The preterite can’t express this, but the imperfect DOES! The imperfect describes… actions that happen more than once in the past I used to travel to Peoria. Every Christmas the whole family would sing to the neighbors.

5 Imperfect … 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.

6 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.” Think about it: “perfect” means “complete,” so when a past action is incomplete, it is “imperfect.”

7 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”) (ir+a+inf)

8 OK, what are the forms? Finally! 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 stem ER/IR: add –ía to the stem

9 Some examples, please! Choose one to write out: hablarcantar hablabacantaba hablabascantabas hablabacantaba hablábamoscantábamos hablabais cantabais 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!

10 How about for –ER and –IR? comervivir comía vivía comías vivías comía vivía comíamos vivíamos comíais vivíais 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!

11 Let’s try a few forms! Just write the verb: Estar: yo … tú … ella … nosotros … ellos …

12 Estar… yo estaba tú estabas ella estaba nosotros estábamos ellos estaban Rule: NO stem-changers! Conjugate volver

13 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! Rule: NO irregularities in YO form! Conjugate conocer

14 Conocer… yo conocía tú conocías ella conocía nosotros conocíamos ellos conocían Conocer is irregular in the present, but not in the imperfect! Out loud: How about decir? Conjugate it with your partner.

15 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! Write out: Reflexives: Conjugate levantarse

16 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!

17 THE ONLY Irregulars: S THE ONLY Irregulars: Ser, Ir, Ver serirver eraibaveía erasibas veías eraiba veía éramosíbamos veíamos eranibanveían That’s all, folks – no other irregular imperfect forms in Spanish.

18 A piece of cake! The forms are that simple! We’ll look at the differences between the two past forms – the preterite and the imperfect – tomorrow and work on them in the days that follow.

19 Práctica—write these out: 1) I went to school everyday. 2) When she was a little girl… 3) They always ate my food during class. 4) He talked to his dog all the time. 5) We were studying calculus... 6) I was living in Japan when…
