In this problem, we need to conjugate each verb in parenthesis in the imperfect. The imperfect is used to talk about past actions, conditions, or events that occurred regularly or frequently or that were in progress in a moment in the past. There are two forms in this verbal tense, namely: Regular Imperfect Forms and Irregular Imperfect Forms.

You can recognize only two sets of endings for regular imperfect, one for ar verbs and one for both er and ir verbs. If you want to conjugate a regular verb in the imperfect, you must remove the infinitive ending (ar, er, or ir) and add the imperfect ending that matches the subject as indicated in the first Table below.

In the imperfect tense, there are only three verbs with irregular conjugations, namely: ir, ser, and ver. This is shown in the second Table below.

So:

¿Desde la época de los aztecas se organizaban los llamados tianguis?

Los aztecas can be replaced by ellos, so organizaban is the conjugation of the ar verb organizar for the third person plural (ellos – since the noun of the question is given in feminine form) in the imperfect. See from the first Table below that the ending that matches this subject pronoun is aban.
