Imperfect Tense
Do you understand how to conjugate into the present? How about the preterite? Are you sick of tenses with LOTS of irregulars? Then you are ready to have a blast with the IMPERFECT TENSE!

2
Why Imperfect?
The imperfect is another way to talk about the past.
So, why do we need another way?
Because Spanish sees a definite difference in past events.
3
Basics of Preterite vs. Imperfect
So, let's pretend that you want to talk about ONE TIME that you exercised.
You want to use the PRETERITE.
And you might use key words, like a specific day.
AYER, yo salté a la cuerda.
(saltar is conjugated into the preterite tense)
4
Basics of Preterite vs. Imperfect
But, what if you want to talk about how you exercised LOTS of times.
Instead of saying "yesterday", we might indicate that it was "many times".
Muchas veces, yo saltaba a la cuerda.
(saltar is now in the imperfect)
5
But let's focus on the imperfect...
That is a jump ahead. (no pun intended)
Let's turn our focus back to how to form the imperfect.
Bottom line: figure out your subject and conjugate like we always have.
Notice that the "yo" form and the "he/she" form is the same.

For each of the next slides, determine the proper conjugation of the indicated verb based on the subject.
