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

• A. Iba
• B. Ibas
• C. Iban
• D. Íbamos

Answer: (D)

Imperfect describes past actions that were ongoing or habitual. For ir in this tense, the forms are iba, ibas, iba, íbamos, ibais, iban. The nosotros form uses the same -íamos ending pattern as other -er/-ir verbs, but ir is irregular, so it becomes íbamos. The accent on the í helps show the Stress pattern and keeps the pronunciation clear. So for “we were going” or “we used to go,” the correct form is íbamos. The other forms—iba, ibas, iban—match other subjects (I, you singular, they/you plural) and don’t fit the nosotros subject.
