1 In Descubre, nivel 1, you learned the preterite tense
In Descubre, nivel 1, you learned the preterite tense. You will now learn the imperfect, which describes past activities in a different way. ©2014 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

2 ¡Atención! Note that the imperfect endings of -er and -ir verbs are the same. Also note that the nosotros form of -ar verbs always carries an accent mark on the first a of the ending. All forms of -er and -ir verbs in the imperfect carry an accent on the first i of the ending. ©2014 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

3 There are no stem changes in the imperfect.

4 The imperfect form of hay is había (there was; there were; there used to be).
¡Atención! Ir, ser, and ver are the only verbs that are irregular in the imperfect. ©2014 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

5 Uses of the imperfect As a general rule, the imperfect is used to describe actions which are seen by the speaker as incomplete or “continuing,” while the preterite is used to describe actions which have been completed. The imperfect expresses what was happening at a certain time or how things used to be. The preterite, in contrast, expresses a completed action. ©2014 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

6 These expressions are often used with the imperfect because they express habitual or repeated actions: de niño/a (as a child), todos los días (every day), mientras (while). ©2014 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

7 Indica la forma correcta de cada verbo en el imperfecto.
