Answer 1

The correct ending for -AR verbs in the imperfect tense in Spanish is:

aba, abas, aba, ábamos, abais, aban

So, the first option you provided is the correct one. The imperfect tense is used to describe past actions that were ongoing or habitual, without specifying when they started or ended.

The other endings listed are for different tenses:

- The second set of endings (é, aste, ó, amos, asteis, aron) is for the preterite tense of -AR verbs, which denotes completed actions in the past.

- The third set of endings (ía, ías, ía, ímos, íais, ían) is for the imperfect tense of -ER and -IR verbs, not -AR verbs.

- The fourth set of endings (í, iste, ió, imos, isteis, ieron) is for the preterite tense of -IR and -ER verbs.
