For this lesson, would it be correct to say that you generally conjugate the verbs ending in "ar" to "aba" (e.g. hablar becomes hablaba) and that you conjugate verbs ending in "er" and "ir" to "ía" (e.g. soler becomes solía)?

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using the imperfect tense in Spanish to express habits or repeated actions in the past (El Pretérito Imperfecto)"

Hola Celia
Yes, all -ar verbs that are regular in El Imperfecto take the endings -aba, -abas, -aba, -ábamos, -abais, -aban. And -er or -ir verbs that are regular in El Imperfecto take the endings -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían.
The good news is that there only 3 irregular verbs in El Imperfecto. Here are the lessons for these ones:
Conjugate ser in the imperfect tense in Spanish (El Imperfecto)
Conjugate ir in the imperfect tense in Spanish (El Pretérito Imperfecto)
Conjugate ver in the imperfect tense in Spanish (El Pretérito Imperfecto)
I hope this helps
Saludos
Inma
