Imperfect Tense Conjugation Practice Test

Which is the correct imperfect tense form for 'we used to eat'?

Nosotros comíamos Vosotros comíais Tú comías Uds. comían

Correct Answer:

Nosotros comíamos

Explanation:

Imperfect tense expresses past actions that were habitual or ongoing. For -er verbs like comer, the endings in imperfect are -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían. The form for nosotros (we) is comíamos, with the accent on the i. So "nosotros comíamos" means "we used to eat." The other options shift the subject: "vosotros comíais" is you all (informal in Spain), not we; "tú comías" is you singular; "Uds. comían" is you all (ustedes) or they, not we. Thus the correct form for “we used to eat” is the nosotros form: comíamos.
