Alcançastes

Alcançastes is a verb form in the Spanish language. It is the second-person plural preterite indicative of the verb alcanzar. Alcanzar means "to reach," "to achieve," or "to attain." Therefore, "alcançastes" translates to "you all reached," "you all achieved," or "you all attained" in English. This verb conjugation is used when referring to an action that was completed in the past by a group of people addressed as "you" (plural, informal). For example, if a group of friends successfully completed a difficult hike, one might say, "Vosotros alcançastes la cima de la montaña" (You all reached the summit of the mountain). The preterite tense specifically indicates a completed action at a particular point in the past, distinct from the imperfect tense which describes ongoing or habitual actions in the past. While "alcançastes" is a correct conjugation in many Spanish-speaking regions, particularly in Spain where "vosotros" is commonly used, other regions might use alternative forms for the second-person plural, such as "ustedes alcanzaron." The choice of pronoun and verb ending often depends on regional dialect and formality.
