The correct answer is "They used to eat bread." The verb "comÃan" is in the imperfect tense, which indicates an ongoing or repeated action in the past.

A. Ibas a la iglesia.Explanation
The correct answer is "Ibas a la iglesia." This is the correct translation of "You used to go to church." The other options are incorrect because "Ias a la iglesia" is not a valid phrase, "Fuiste a la iglesia" means "You went to church" in the past tense, and "Estabas a la iglesia" means "You were at the church." Only "Ibas a la iglesia" accurately conveys the meaning of the original sentence.Rate this question:

The question specifically states not to use capitalization, punctuation, or accent marks, so both versions of the word without any of these elements are considered correct.Rate this question:

Ser & Estar: Ser and Estar both mean...
- A.
To have

Correct Answer
D. To beExplanation
Ser and Estar are both Spanish verbs that mean "to be". However, they are used in different contexts. Ser is used to express permanent or inherent qualities, while Estar is used to express temporary states or conditions. So, both verbs have the general meaning of "to be" but they are used in different situations.Rate this question:

- B.

The verb endings for Future Tense in Spanish are é, ás, á, emos, éis, án. This is the correct answer because these endings are used to conjugate regular verbs in the future tense.

The given sentence "Comeremos muy rápido" translates to "We will eat really fast."

Future: Type the following in Spanish. Do NOT use capitalization, punctuation, or accent marks.We will swim
Correct Answer
nadaremosExplanation
The correct answer is "nadaremos" because it is the correct conjugation of the verb "nadar" in the future tense for the subject "we". In Spanish, when expressing future actions, the verb is typically formed by adding the appropriate ending to the infinitive form of the verb. In this case, "nadaremos" is formed by adding the "-emos" ending to "nadar".Rate this question:
