pretendíamos

Pretendíamos is a Spanish verb form. It is the first-person plural imperfect indicative of the verb "pretender." The imperfect indicative tense is used to describe ongoing actions, habitual actions, or states of being in the past. The first-person plural form indicates that the subject of the verb is "we." Therefore, "pretendíamos" translates to "we were pretending" or "we used to pretend."

The verb "pretender" itself has multiple meanings in Spanish, including to intend, to aim for, to claim, to aspire to, or to feign. The specific meaning of "pretendíamos" will depend on the context in which it is used. For example, "Pretendíamos ir al cine" would mean "We intended to go to the cinema" or "We were planning to go to the cinema." In contrast, "Pretendíamos ser superhéroes" would mean "We were pretending to be superheroes." The imperfect tense suggests that these actions or intentions were ongoing or habitual in the past, rather than a single completed event.
