Ver Imperfect Practice

Ver (to see) in the imperfect: 14 free exercises with an explanation after every answer, plus the full conjugation table.

IWhat to watch for

Ver is one of only three verbs with an irregular imperfect in all of Spanish (with ser and ir). Instead of building on the bare stem v-, it keeps the e: veía, veías, veía, veíamos, veíais, veían.

The trap is dropping that e and writing "vía". Every form carries an accent on the í, and yo and él/ella share the same form veía, so let the subject of the sentence decide the person.
