The imperfect tense in spanish is a special form of past tense used to describe repetitave things that HAD already happened like: - repeated actions

- time

- descriptions

- weather Example) She used to walk to school every friday.

Ella caminaba a la escuela todos los viernes.

For AR verb endings: (yo) - aba (nosotros) - ábamos

(tú) - abas (vosotros) - abais

(él, ella, usted) - aba (must clarify) (ellos, ellas, ustedes) - aban

For ER/IR verb endings: (yo) - ía (nosotros) - íamos (tú) - ías (vosotros) - íais (él, ella, usted) - ía (must clarify) (ellos, ellas, ustedes) - ían

There are only 3 irregular verbs for the imperfect tense: - ir (to go)

- ser (to be)

- ver (to see)

Ir: (yo) - iba (nosotros) - íbamos (tú) - ibas (vosotros) - ibais (él, ella, usted) - iba (must clarify) (ellos, ellas, ustedes) - iban

Ser: (yo) - era (nosotros) - éramos (tú) - eras (vosotros) - erais (él, ella, usted) - era (must clarify) (ellos, ellas, ustedes) - eran

Ver: (yo) - veía (nosotros) - veíamos (tú) - veías (vosotros) - veíais (él, ella, usted) - veía (must clarify) (ellos, ellas, ustedes) - veían

Can the imperfect tense in Spanish be narration in the past?

The imperfect tense can certainly be used in some aspects of past-tense narration, but you will need a range of different tenses to perform a proper past-tense narration. At the minimum, you will need both imperfect and preterit OR imperfect and present perfect. However, you will likely need other tenses such as imperfect progressive, past perfect, and imperfect subjunctive.
