The Imperfect Tense: Irregular Verbs
Realidades 2
2
Imperfect Imperfect is used for habitual actions in the past.
It tells what someone “used to do,” “would do,” did “over and over”. No specific point in time when the actions started or finished.
3
Imperfect Use for actions that happened repeatedly in past.
Tener and vivir, for example, can describe actions that are ongoing. -er and –ir have the same endings, just as they shared a set of endings in Preterite. Be careful with accent marks here!
4
Imperfect Although you can omit the subject pronoun or noun with most verbs most of the time, it is a good idea to use the subject with Imperfect. First person “yo” and third person “él, ella, usted” look exactly alike! Pronouns make it clear who used to do something.
