Like in every tense, the imperfectum has regular and irregular verbs. We start with the regular ones.

The verb werken is regular in all tenses as you can see in the table above. You can use PoCKeTFiSH or SoFTKeTCHuP to know whether a verb gets te(n) or de(n) in past tense. In the table below you find another regular verb ending in de(n). If you are not familiar with this concept, check our lesson on PoCKeTFiSH (see the link below this article).

Now let's take a look at the most common irregulars in singular and plural form. You will have to learn them by heart.
