Question

we were, in spanish

Answer 1

There are a few ways to say "we were" in Spanish — choice depends on context:

- Éramos — imperfect of ser. Use for descriptions, habitual actions, background:
Ejemplo: Éramos amigos en la escuela. (We were friends at school.)

- Fuimos — preterite of ser. Use for completed events or to say someone was something at a specific time:
Ejemplo: Fuimos campeones en 2010. (We were champions in 2010.)

- Estábamos — imperfect of estar. Use for ongoing or temporary states, locations or actions in the past:
Ejemplo: Estábamos cansados después del viaje. (We were tired after the trip.)

- Estuvimos — preterite of estar. Use for temporary states or locations at a specific completed time:
Ejemplo: Estuvimos en Madrid la semana pasada. (We were in Madrid last week.)

You can drop the pronoun (nosotros/nosotras) in Spanish unless you need emphasis; use nosotras if the group is all female. If you meant "we have been," that would be "hemos estado" (estar) or "hemos sido" (ser).
