Personificávamos

Personificávamos is the first-person plural imperfect indicative form of the Spanish verb "personificar." The verb "personificar" means to attribute human characteristics or behavior to a god, animal, or object. Therefore, "personificávamos" translates to "we used to personify" or "we were personifying." This grammatical form indicates a past, ongoing, or habitual action in the past.

When used in a sentence, "personificávamos" would describe a situation where a group of people regularly or habitually engaged in the act of giving human qualities to something non-human. For example, "En la antigua Grecia, personificávamos a los dioses con características humanas" translates to "In ancient Greece, we used to personify the gods with human characteristics." The imperfect tense suggests that this was a common practice or a sustained belief within that historical context. It is a descriptive verb form, focusing on the ongoing nature of the action in the past rather than a completed event.
