Today we began our study of the imperfect: Which is the other tense we use in Spanish to talk about the past. Here are some of the basic rules of when we use it!
El imperfecto
Use the imperfect tense to talk about actions that
happened regularly. In English you often say “used to”
or “would” to express this idea.

- The imperfect tense is used to talk about habitual or repeated events in the past.
Look at the conjugations of regular -ar, -er, and -ir verbs in the imperfect tense - • Notice that the yo and él/ella/Ud. forms of each verb are the same.
• Notice that -er and -ir verbs have the same endings in the imperfect.
