Conducían

Conducían is a Spanish word that functions as the imperfect indicative plural form of the verb conducir. Conducir translates to "to drive," "to lead," or "to conduct" in English. Therefore, conducían describes an action of driving, leading, or conducting that was ongoing or habitual in the past, performed by a group of people or things. For instance, it could describe "they were driving," "they used to lead," or "they were conducting" something. The context of the sentence would determine the specific meaning of conducían. The imperfect tense in Spanish is used to describe past actions that were continuous, habitual, or to set a scene in the past, rather than a single completed event. In the plural form, it specifically refers to multiple subjects performing this past action.
