Imperfect of Ir


The question asked for imperfect for Ir with subjects of "tu y Marcos", and I put "ibais".  This was counted wrong and the correct answer given as "iban".  I could understand both being counted as correct, but why is "ibais" incorrect?

Hola Edwin 

This is because your focus is set as Latin American and the "you plural" in Latin America is "ustedes" ( tú y Marcos = ustedes), therefore the conjugation is "iban".

This same question for Spain focus students has the correct answer "ibais" because in Spain this would be "vosotros". 

I hope this clarified your doubt.

Saludos
