Which ending is used for yo form of -er/-ir in the imperfect?

• A. íA
• B. íAs
• C. ía
• D. íáis

Answer: (C)

In the imperfect tense, -er and -ir verbs use endings that show who is doing the action. For the yo form, the ending is -ía. The full set for -er/-ir endings in the imperfect is -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían. So you attach -ía to the verb stem: comer becomes comía, beber becomes bebía, vivir becomes vivía. The accent on í marks the stressed syllable. This differs from -ar verbs, whose yo form ends in -aba.
