All imperfect tenses in french use what is left over of the nous form after dropping -ons for its stem. However, there is only one irregular stem. This is for the verb être, which means "to be" the stem for this is ét. after this you can add the endings just like any other imperfect verb. These are:

Je: ais

Tu: ais

Il/Elle/on: ait

Nous: ions

Vous: iez

Ils/Elles: aient

Are there irregular verbs in the imperfect progressive tense In Spanish?

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.

What is past imperfect tense?

The past imperfect tense (or just imperfect tense) is used to describe an action in the past that is recognized as unfinished or continuous, which contrasts that of the preterite tense which recognizes an action in the past as being completed. English doesn't have an imperfect tense. A rough example of the imperfect tense in English would be "I was reading". The verb "was" implies that although I was reading sometime in the past, I didn't necessarily finish or the action got interrupted.
