2.11.2 Imperfect conjugations
Imperfect conjugation
Before getting into the nitty gritty of how to use the preterite and the imperfect, let’s review the conjugations. We are assuming that you know these forms but that you might still need a little work on them. And a little review never hurt anyone
We’ll start this review with the imperfect because it’s so short.
Regular verbs:
| Hablar:
Hablaba Hablabas Hablaba Hablábamos Hablabais Hablaban |
Comer:
Comía Comías Comía Comíamos Comíais Comían |
Vivir:
Vivía Vivías Vivía Vivíamos Vivíais Vivían |
All but three verbs follow that pattern.
Irregular verbs
| Ir:
Iba Ibas Iba Íbamos Ibais Iban |
Ser:
Era Eras Era Éramos Erais Eran |
Ver:
Veía Veías Veía Veíamos Veíais veían |
