Here's how it breaks down:
* Present tense: zeichnen
* Imperfect tense: zeichnete
Here are some examples of how to use "zeichnete":
* Ich zeichnete ein Bild von einem Baum. (I drew a picture of a tree.)
* Sie zeichnete einen Kreis auf das Papier. (She drew a circle on the paper.)
* Er zeichnete eine Katze mit einem Bleistift. (He drew a cat with a pencil.)
It's important to note that the imperfect tense is used to describe actions that happened in the past but are not completed. It is often used to describe habitual actions or actions that took place over a period of time.
