Forming the imperfect for some irregular v | French Q & A

Forming the imperfect for some irregular verbs

In reference to the rule which is explained at the end of the lesson after the examples, isn't there something extra going on in the reflexive verbs which follow the pattern of eler/ eter like 'se rappeler'? For example, we have je me rappelle in the present, but je me rappelais in the imperfect, so we don't just add 'ais' to the stem of the conjugation in the present in this instance, right?

This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate reflexive verbs in the imperfect tense in French (L'Imparfait)"
