IMPERFECT TENSE - French
  1. The stem comes from the nous form
    1. Three steps to make this past tense
      1. 1. Get the present tense 'nous' form of the word
        1. 2. Take '-ons' at the end
          1. 3. Add on the correct ending
            1. I: je -ais
              1. You (informal sing.): tu -ais
                1. He/she/it/one: il/elle/on -ait
                  1. We: nous -ions
                    1. You (inf.plu. & formal): Vous -iez
                      1. They: ils/elles -aient
                    2. The only verb that doesn't make its stem in this way is etre
                      1. Etre = to be
                        1. I was = j'etais
                          1. You were = Tu etais
                            1. He/she/it/one was = Il/elle/on etait
                              1. We were = Nous etions
                                1. You were = Vous etiez
                                  1. They were = Ils/elles etaient
                              2. Examples
