Iba vs Solia

Would the phrase "You used to go camping when you were young" be "tu solias a ir al campo cuando era pequena" instead of "tu ibas ir...."? Because the quiz said to use ibas.

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using the imperfect tense in Spanish to express habits or repeated actions in the past (El Pretérito Imperfecto)"

Hola Brione

Yes, you can. We use "soler" in the imperfect + infinitive to express "used to". That'd also be correct, as well as using the imperfect of the main verb as we're doing in the lesson.
