The imperfect tense is used in actions that were ongoing in the past at the same time as other actions went on or occurred, the imperfect/ imparfait is the equivalent of the past progressive "was" or "was …-ing” in English, and is usually used for habitual actions in the past, actions of an unspecified duration, in conjunction with the passé composé , wishes or suggestions …the good news is that there is only one ending for all kind of verbs: je -ais, tu -ais, il -ait, nous -ions, vous -iez, ils -aient.
