Passé Imparfait

One man strives to overcome the Gallic tongue...
Un homme qui s'efforce de surmonter la langue gauloise...

Où j'ecris deux versions, un en anglais et l'autre en français, les deux ne seront jamais identiques parce que je ne connais pas le français autant bien que je connais l'anglais.

Overview

[subject] [imperfect conjugation]

The imperfect conjugation is formed by dropping the -ons from the first person plural of the present tense (ie, nous parl-ons, nous finiss-ons, nous attend-ons) and added the appropriate ending:

je: -ais
tu: -ais
il/elle: ait
nous: ions
vous: iez
ils/elles: aient

Notes:

All of the singular forms and the third person plural are pronounced alike.
The first and second person plurals are the same as in the present tense, except for the leading ‘i’.
The only irregular verb in the imperfect tense is être, which uses the stem ét- for (regular) conjugation.

Verbs conjugated irregularly in the present tense

Since the imperfect conjugation is formed from the first person plural, verbs that conjugate irregularly in the present tense will have regular imperfect conjugations, but with imperfect stems.
