The imperfect progressive tense has two components: the imperfect form of haber and the present participle.
Haber is regular in the imperfect tense: había, habías, había, habíamos, habíais, habían
The present participle depends on the verb and there are several irregular present participle types (pidiendo for pedir, durmiendo for dormir, etc.) However, because the present participle is the same as the one used in the present progressive, if you know the irregulars from that then there is no need to relearn them here.
