Considerábamos

Considerábamos is a Spanish verb form. Specifically, it is the first-person plural imperfect indicative of the verb considerar. The imperfect indicative tense is used to describe ongoing or habitual actions in the past, as well as to set the scene for past events or describe states of being.

In practice, "considerábamos" translates to "we used to consider," "we were considering," or "we considered" (in a continuous or habitual sense). For example, "Considerábamos que era una buena idea" means "We considered that it was a good idea" or "We were of the opinion that it was a good idea." Another example, "Considerábamos a Juan nuestro amigo" means "We used to consider Juan our friend" or "We considered Juan our friend" (implying a past ongoing state of friendship). The context of the sentence determines the precise nuance.

The verb "considerar" itself means to think about something, to take something into account, to regard something in a particular way, or to deem something. Therefore, "considerábamos" conveys a past, ongoing, or habitual action of thinking about, taking into account, regarding, or deeming something from the perspective of "we."
