Imperfect

das Imperfekt, das Präteritum

The imperfect is a form of past tense that’s expresses an incomplete action and it’s pretty common in the Romance languages.
English doesn’t really have it but sometimes the normal simple past is refered to as the Imperfect.

German doesn’t have it either. There, its equivalent is the Präteritum (preterite).
