The Imperfect Tense is one of two ways to talk about events that happened in the past in Spanish. The imperfect is used to:

• describe repeated, habitual, or usual actions in the past
• describe actions that were ongoing in the past
• describe what things were like in the past
• describe time and people's ages in the past

For example:

Usualmente él llegaba a la escuela temprano.
He usually arrived at school early.

Yo dibujaba mientras que ella pintaba.
I was drawing while she was painting.

La ciudad era vieja y sucia.
The city was old and dirty.

Isabel tenía ocho años.

To conjugate "-er" and "-ir" verbs take off the endings and add the following:

"-er" / "-ir" endings:

Notice that there is an accented "i" in every conjugation.

Irregular Imperfect Tense Verbs

There are only three irregular imperfect conjugations in the entire Spanish language and they are ir, ser, and ver.

Ir

Ir means "to go," and its conjugations sort of look like a hybrid between "-ar" and "-er/-ir" endings:

Please notice that these are full conjugations, not just endings.

Ser

Ser means "to be," and it's conjugations are totally irregular:

Ver

Ver means "to see" or "to watch." At first glance it may not look irregular; it has the regular endings for verbs, but in this case we're only going to take of the "-r" rather than the "-er" before conjugating:

Regular Imperfect Forms

There are only two sets of endings for regular imperfect verbs in Spanish, one for -ar verbs and one for both -er and -ir verbs.
