Words that end in a vowel, 'n', or 's' should be stressed on the second to last syllable. Are the following words stressed correctly?
ERa, ERas, ÉRamos, ERais, and ERan.

No, you are correct. The only difference would be éramos where the emphasis is on the first e due to the accent above it.

Thanks for the comment, Eddy. Since I had two conjugations, I'm not sure of the one that you say is correct. - Maria-Russell, Apr 9, 2013

I'm revisiting this question because I'm not clear on the answer yet. How do you stress the verb ser in the imperfect? Is it the second to the last syllable since the last letters are 'n' and 's'?
(I already know éramos is stressed on the first syllable because of the é.)
