Which is the correct imperfect tense form for 'you informal used to eat'?

• A. Ud. comía
• B. Tú comías
• C. Ella comía
• D. Nosotros comíamos

Answer: (B)

In Spanish, the imperfect tense describes habitual or ongoing past actions. For the informal you, the subject is tú and the -er verb ending is -ías. The verb comer becomes comías, giving you the form you used to eat. The accent on í marks the stressed syllable in this past-imperfect ending. Forms with Usted, Él, or Ella use comía, and the nosotros form is comíamos, which do not match the informal tú subject.
