© and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.6B.1-3 The imperfetto is a simple tense; it does not require an auxiliary verb. The pattern of conjugation is identical for verbs ending in -are, -ere, and -ire. Drop the -re to form the stem and add the imperfect endings.

© and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.6B.1-4 Essere is irregular in the imperfetto, and the verbs bere, dire, and fare have irregular stems.

Use the imperfetto to talk about actions that took place repeatedly or habitually during an unspecified period of time.
