Today in class 11-5-08

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.
Todos los meses, mi escuela organizaba una carrera.
Nuestro equipo nunca perdía

estar

tener

vivir

estaba estábamos estabas estabais estaba estaban

tenía teníamos tenías teníais tenía tenían

vivía vivíamos vivías vivíais vivía vivían

	Stem-changing verbs do not have a stem change in the imperfect.
	Quería participar en el campeonato pero no me sentía bien.
The verbs ir, ser, and ver are the only irregular verbs in the imperfect. Here are their forms:

ir ser ver

iba íbamos ibas ibais iba iban era éramos eras erais era eran veía veíamos veías veíais veía veían

• The imperfect form of hay is había (“there was / were, there used to be”). Generalmente, no había muchos participantes en el campeonato.

• 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.
