(Period 3)Imperfect verbs - describe actions that took place in the past AND are continuous or repeated.
-Recognize them by tense marker "BA"
Translated "was/were", "_ed", "used to" or "kept"
Use Mikey Mouse endings, -m is alternate for -o ending
Ex: Curreba- Currebam
Amaba- Amabam

Irregular Imperfect verbs
Sum, esse, fui, futurus

Present form
Sum (I am) Sumus (we are)
Es (you are) Estis (y'all are)
Est (he/she/it is) Sunt (they are)
