So far we have seen only one past indicative tense, the perfect, but Latin has an imperfect indicative as well. The imperfect is used to describe actions as ongoing in the past, such as ‘I was doing’ or ‘I used to do’. It is relatively simple to form, because all the different conjugations take exactly the same endings, and the only differences between them come from the stem vowels used before those endings.
