Imperfect tense
To form the imperfect we take
the nous form of the present
tense and take off the ons to get
the imperfect stem

endings as follows
je
tu
il
nous
vous
ils
ais
ais
ait
ions

verbs like manger and ranger who
have an extra "e" in the nous form
of the present tense, retain this in
the imperfect to make the "g"
sound soft (mon frere mangeait)
Verbs like commencer,
which have a "c" in the
nous form, retain this to
make the "c" sound soft
(je commencais).
