Which is the imperfect form of ser for ellos/ellas/ustedes?

• A. Era
• B. Eras
• C. Eran
• D. Éramos

Answer: (C)

In the imperfect tense, ser is irregular, and for the third-person plural subjects ellos/ellas/ustedes the form is eran. This form directly matches “they were” or “you all were.” Other forms correspond to different subjects: era is used for he/she/you (formal), eras for you singular informal, and éramos for we. The lack of an accent in eran (unlike éramos) also signals its plural form.
