The imperfect is the easiest, most regular tense in Spanish. Notice that -er and -ir verbs have the same endings (all with accents):
comenzaba | pedía | vivía |
comenzabas | pedías | vivías |
comenzaba | pedía | vivía |
comenzábamos | pedíamos | vivíamos |
comenzabais | pedíais | vivíais |
comenzaban | pedían | vivían |
There are only three verbs with irregular forms in the imperfect: ir, ser, and ver. Even so, they are not very difficult:
iba | era | veía |
ibas | eras | veías |
iba | era | veía |
íbamos | éramos | veíamos |
ibais | erais | veíais |
iban | eran | veían |
