acostábamos

Acostábamos is a Spanish verb form. It is the first-person plural imperfect indicative of the verb acostar. The verb acostar means "to put to bed" or "to go to bed" or "to lie down." The imperfect indicative tense in Spanish is used to describe ongoing actions, habitual actions, or states of being in the past.

Therefore, acostábamos translates to "we were putting to bed," "we used to put to bed," "we were going to bed," or "we used to go to bed," depending on the context. For example, "Nos acostábamos temprano todas las noches" means "We used to go to bed early every night." In another context, "Los padres nos acostábamos a los niños" could mean "The parents were putting the children to bed." The specific meaning is derived from the surrounding sentence and the overall narrative. The imperfect tense emphasizes the continuity or the habitual nature of the action in the past, rather than a single completed event.
