Explanation:
The imperfect past tense of indicative is used in Spanish to express past courses of actions whose beginning and end are not specified. Similarly, it serves to emphasize the continuity or regularity of an action in the past. In Spanish there are only three verbs of irregular conjugation in the imperfect tense which are: Ir, ser and ver. This is how they conjugate:
Ser:
(yo=I) era
(tú=you) eras
(él=he/ella=she) era
(nosotros/nosotras=we) éramos
(vosotros/vosotras=you) erais
(ellos/ellas=they) eran
Ir:
(yo=I) iba
(tú=you) ibas
(él=he/ella=she) iba
(nosotros/nosotras=we) íbamos
(vosotros/vosotras=you) ibais
(ellos/ellas=they) iban
Ver:
(yo=I) veía
(tú=you) veías
(él=he/ella=she) veía
(nosotros/nosotras=we) veíamos
(vosotros/vosotras=you) veíais
(ellos/ellas=they) veían
