Crescíamos

Crescíamos is not a standard form in Spanish. In standard Spanish, the imperfect indicative of the verb meaning “to grow” is crecíamos. Therefore, cre c í a mos with an accent on the í is the correct spelling for the first-person plural past tense, and it translates as “we were growing” or “we used to grow.” The verb itself comes from Latin crescere, and its present and imperfect forms follow the regular -er verb pattern in the imperfect: yo crecía, tú crecías, él crecía, nosotros crecíamos/crecíamos, vosotros crecíais, ellos crecían.

The form crecíamos expresses ongoing or habitual past growth or development. It can refer to physical growth, such as height, as well as figurative growth, such as a group’s experience or a project’s progress, depending on context. Examples in standard Spanish include: “Crecíamos en altura cada año” or “Durante la infancia, crecíamos como equipo.”

Crescíamos may appear in texts as a misspelling or as a stylistic or orthographic error influenced by other languages. In those cases, readers should replace it with crecíamos to conform to normal Spanish spelling. If encountered in edited writing, such usage would typically be corrected to prevent confusion.

En resumen, crecíamos es la forma adecuada para expresar crecimiento pasado en primera persona del plural en español, mientras que crescíamos no es reconocida como una forma correcta en la lengua estándar.
