Cubríamos

Cubríamos is a Spanish word, the first-person plural imperfect indicative form of the verb cubrir. This verb has several common meanings, including to cover, to hide, or to provide. Therefore, "cubríamos" can translate to "we were covering," "we used to cover," or "we were hiding," depending on the context of the sentence. For instance, in a literal sense, "Nosotros cubríamos la mesa con un mantel" means "We were covering the table with a tablecloth." Metaphorically, it could be used as in "Ellos cubríamos nuestras emociones con una sonrisa," meaning "They used to hide their emotions with a smile." The imperfect tense implies a past action that was ongoing or habitual, rather than a single completed event. This distinction is important for understanding the nuance of the verb's usage in Spanish.
