My Understanding Of The Imperfect Tense

¡Hola! Today I'm learning about the Imperfect tense. Would you like to hear what I've learnt so far?
The Imperfect tense is a tense used to communicate certain circumstances about actions occurring in the past. The first circumstance is an unknown length or duration. The second is how often the action took place.
We use the Imperfect tense to describe continuing, ongoing actions in the past, to indicate actions that took place on a regular basis, actions that were repeated or were habitual or customary in the past and/or to describe people or states of indefinite duration in the past
Like all verbs, we must conjugate the verb to match the tense. To start with, we remove the endings, -ar, -er and -ir. Then, we add the appropriate endings.
For -ar verbs, the endings are "-aba", "-abas", "-aba", "-ábamos", "-abais" and "-aban". For -er and -ir verbs, the endings are "-ía", "-ías", "-ía", "-íamos", "-íais" and "-ían".
When we are learning the Imperfect tense, there are also irregular verbs and adverbs of time that we need to learn. Like I always say, we have to practice, that way we remember it. That's all for today, until next time ¡Adios!
