Conjugate ser in the imperfect tense for the subject tú.

• A. éramos
• B. eras
• C. erais
• D. era

Answer: (B)

In the imperfect tense, describing past states or habits, ser has forms for each subject. For tú you use eras. So, tú eras describes a past ongoing state of being, like “You were kind” or “When you were a child.” An example: Cuando eras niño, te gustaba jugar en la calle. Other forms exist for other subjects: era for él/ella/usted, éramos for nosotros, erais for vosotros, eran for ellos/ellas. Note that éramos and erais carry accents, while eras does not. Also, this is different from the preterite form fue or fuiste, which would describe completed past actions rather than ongoing past states.
