What is the imperfect form of 'ir' for the subject 'nosotros'?

• A. Nosotros ibas
• B. Nosotros ibáis
• C. Nosotros íbamos
• D. Nosotros iban

Answer: (C)

Imperfect describes past actions that were ongoing or habitual. The verb ir is irregular in the imperfect, and for nosotros the form is íbamos, which comes from the stem iba plus the nosotros ending -bamos, with an accent on the í. So "Nosotros íbamos" means "we were going" or "we used to go." The other forms don’t match the subject: "ibas" is tú were going, "ibáis" is vosotros were going, and "iban" is ellos/ustedes were going.
