reforzaban

Reforzaban is a Spanish verb conjugation. It is the imperfect indicative form of the verb "reforzar," meaning "to reinforce," "to strengthen," or "to bolster." Specifically, "reforzaban" refers to the third-person plural form. This means it describes an action that was habitually or repeatedly happening in the past, performed by "they" or "them."

For example, in a sentence like "Los muros reforzaban la defensa de la ciudad" (The walls reinforced the defense of the city), "reforzaban" indicates that the walls were continuously or habitually serving to strengthen the city's defenses in the past. The imperfect tense is used to describe ongoing actions, habitual actions, or descriptions of states in the past, as opposed to a single completed event. Therefore, "reforzaban" conveys a sense of past continuity or repetition regarding the act of reinforcing.
