choose the best spanish equivalent to the phrase. the students were going to school. los estudiantes va a la…

Brief Explanations:

• The original sentence "The students were going to school" is in the past continuous tense.
• In Spanish, for the third - person plural (students = los estudiantes), the past continuous form of "ir" (to go) is "iban".
• Analyzing each option:
  • "Los estudiantes va a la escuela" has the wrong verb form (va is for third - person singular).
  • "Los estudiantes van a la escuela" is in the present tense.
  • "Los estudiantes iba a la escuela" has the wrong verb form (iba is for third - person singular).
  • "Los estudiantes iban a la escuela" has the correct third - person plural past continuous form.

Answer:

Los estudiantes iban a la escuela.
