Aportasteis

Aportasteis is the Spanish verb form used to indicate that you all contributed, provided, or supplied something in the past. It is the second-person plural preterite indicative form of the verb aportar and is characteristic of Peninsular Spanish, where the vosotros form is standard. In many Latin American varieties, the equivalent form would be ustedes aportaron.

Conjugation and pattern: aportar belongs to the regular -ar verb group in the preterite. The complete preterite for this verb is: yo aporté, tú aportaste, él/ella/Ud. aportó, nosotros/nosotras aportamos, vosotros/vosotras aportasteis, ellos/ellas/Uds. aportaron. The form aportasteis follows the typical -asteis ending for the vosotros subject, and the pronunciation emphasizes the syllable before the ending.

Usage notes: Aportasteis appears in both narrative and descriptive past contexts, with the subject often omitted because vosotros is understood from the verb ending. Examples include: “Durante la reunión, aportasteis ideas útiles para el proyecto” and “Entre todos aportasteis diez mil euros.” In regions where vos no is used instead of vosotros, quisiera or ustedes form is common, with ustedes aportaron in the corresponding past tense.

Related forms and nuances: Aportar means to contribute or provide. Aportasteis is used for actions completed in the past and contrasts with imperfect forms like aportabais for ongoing past activities. The verb can also appear in interrogatives and conditionals with the appropriate tenses.
