The imparfait is used to talk about actions that took place repeatedly or habitually during an unspecified period of time. © 2015 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

To form the imparfait, drop the -ons ending from the nous form of the present tense and replace it with these endings. © 2015 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

Verbs whose infinitives end in -ger add an e before all endings of the imparfait except in the nous and vous forms. Verbs whose infinitives end in -cer change c to ç before all endings except in the nous and vous forms. © 2015 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

Note that the nous and vous forms of infinitives ending in -ier contain a double i in the imparfait. © 2015 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

The imparfait is used for description, often with the verb être, which is irregular in this tense. © 2015 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.
