With AR verbs, first take off the AR from your infinitive to get the stem of the verb, then add the imperfect endings as follows:Yo .....abaTú .....abasél/ella/usted .....abaNosotros ábamosVosotros abaisEllos/as/ustedes abanFor ER & IR verbs, remove the infinitve ending to reveal the stem, and then add:Yo .....íaTú .....íaél/ella/usted .....íaNosotros ....íamosVosotros ....íaisEllos/as/ustedes .....ían
