Abstract. The article provides a comparative-typological analysis of Imperfect tense forms functioning in the English, Russian and French languages. The research objective includes analysing temporal and referential peculiarities of the mentioned tense forms from the viewpoint of their text functioning. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that Imperfect tense forms are analysed in wide functional context. The findings indicate that Imperfect tense forms, possessing the systemic meaning of quantitative temporality, manifest referential peculiarities in macro-context, express qualitative temporality in their secondary function and can perform the function of neutralization and transposition.
