Language/Ukrainian/Grammar/Past-imperfective-Tense

The past imperfective denoted an action that was in progress or occurred at some moment in the past. It presents the action as:

1) repetitive or habitually occurring.

Тарас рідко писав листи. - Taras rarely wrote letter.

2) an open-ended process without regard for whether or not it was ever completed.

Тарас писав книгу вчора. - Taras wrote a book yesterday.

3) a one-time specific action in the past, a statement of fact with the implication that there is no need to repeat the action again. In this meaning it is often accompanied by the verb вже - already. In this usage, the imperfective past is synonymous with the perfective past.

Ми вже бачили цей фільм - We already saw this film.

Past tense ending ( with the verb "їсти"- "to eat" as an example):

Я	їв/їла	ми	їли
ти	їв/їла	ви	їли
він/вона/воно	їв/їла	вони	їли
