What is the correct imperfect form of comer for tú?

• A. Comí
• B. Comía
• C. Comías
• D. Comimos

Answer: (C)

Imperfect describes past actions that were habitual or ongoing. For comer, which is an -er verb, the tú form in the imperfect ends with -ías, giving comías. The form comías signals “you used to eat” in a continuous or repeated past sense. Other options don’t fit: comí is the preterite form meaning “I ate” (a completed action); comía can be used for he/she/you formal or I/he/she/you in imperfect, but not tú; comimos is the preterite for “we ate.”
