What is the imperfect form of comer for nosotros?

• A. comíamos
• B. comía
• C. comían
• D. comías

Answer: (A)

The imperfect tense is used for past actions that were habitual or ongoing. For regular -er verbs like comer, the endings are -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían. Attach the appropriate ending to the stem com- for each subject. For nosotros, the ending is -íamos, giving comíamos. The accent on í marks the stress in this form. So comíamos means "we used to eat" or "we were eating." Other forms like comía, comían, or comías correspond to different subjects (yo/él, ellos, or tú), so they don’t fit the nosotros subject.
