How much of the verb do you keep when conjugating to 'Imparfait'?

It depends on the type ("groupe") and ending of verb, but it is usually as follows:
"er" verbs: Root of the verb (infinitive without "er") + imparfait form
For instance: "manger", root "mang", "je mangeais", "tu mangeais", etc.
"ir" verbs: Root (infinitive without "ir") + "ss" + imparfait form
For instance: "rugir", root "rug", "je rugissais", "tu rugissais", etc.
Some verbs in "ir" belong to the "third group", and omit the "ss".
For instance: "tenir", root "ten", "je tenais", "tu tenais", etc.
Verbs ending with "ure" are in that group too, the root is the infinitive minus "re".
"dre" verbs: Root (infinitive without "dre") + imparfait form
For instance: "prendre", root "pren", "je prenais", "tu prenais", "il prenait", etc.
The rules for the 3 groups of verbs above are generic and there are many exception verbs, but in short you keep the whole root, which the infinitive form minus the 2 or 3 last letters.
The imparfait ending form is at least the same for all verbs, regular or not.
