Use the imperfect of caminar to describe a repeated past habit: Antes, nosotros ___ al colegio todos los días.

See the answer & why

caminábamos

caminábamos is the imperfect form for Nosotros. The sentence presents something that used to happen every day, without marking one completed event.

A little hint: Regular -ar imperfect endings are -aba, -abas, -aba, -ábamos and -aban for these subjects.

Read the context as a repeated past habit rather than one bounded completed event.
