Imperfect of -ar Verbs

2 past tenses In Spanish, there are 2 simple past tenses: preterite imperfect

Preterite used for an action that started and ended at a definite time in the past. ejemplo: I went to the store. I ate a sandwich.

Imperfect used for a habitual or repeated action in the past. Things that happened more than once. The exact time the action began and ended is not important.

ejemplos I used to go to the store. Last year I was eating meat.

To use the imperfect... Find the stem of the infinitive (unconjugated verb) by dropping the last two letters of the infinitive.
