Which is the imperfect form of escribir for nosotros?

• A. Escribía
• B. Escribías
• C. Escribíamos
• D. Escribían

Answer: (C)

Imperfect tense for nosotros uses the endings -íamos for -er and -ir verbs. For escribir, you attach -íamos to the stem escrib-, giving escribíamos. The accent on the i helps keep the natural pronunciation. This form corresponds to “we were writing” or “we used to write” in the past, and it matches other nosotros forms like habíamos or comíamos in pattern. Other forms change the subject: escribía is for él/ella/usted or I form in some contexts, escribías is for tú, and escribían is for ellos/ellas/ustedes. Therefore, escribíamos is the form you’d use for nosotros.
