The verb ser is being used here as <em>occupation,</em> Basically, it's what someone does for a living or as a hobby. Since the word <em>profesora </em>is a feminine noun, this teacher is a woman.

<em>Ellas </em><em>iban </em><em>a la jungla</em>
<h2>4. Right answer:</h2><h3>sabías</h3>
Sabías is the conjugation of the regular verb saber that matches the second person singular in the imperfect. This verb is an er verb because it ends in er.
