- 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).
- describing things in the past (setting the scene)
- To form the imperfect we take the nous form of the present tense and take off the ons to get the imperfect stem
