What is the imperfect form of comer for nosotros?

• A. Comía
• B. Comían
• C. Comías
• D. Comíamos

Answer: (D)

In the imperfect, regular -er verbs with nosotros take the ending -íamos. The stem of comer is com-, so the form for nosotros is comíamos. This gives the sense of an ongoing or habitual past action: “we were eating” or “we used to eat.” For example, Cuando éramos niños, comíamos juntos todos los viernes. The other forms shown correspond to different subjects (comía for I/you/he, comían for they/you all, comías for you), which is why they don’t fit the nosotros subject.
