Atacasteis

Atacasteis is the second-person plural form of the Spanish verb atacar in the pretérito indefinido (preterite) tense. It is used with the pronoun vosotros and translates to "you all attacked" in English. The form is regular for this verb, following the standard -ar conjugation pattern in the preterite.

Conjugation in the pretérito indefinido (attacking in the past)

- yo ataqué

- tú atacaste

- él/ella/usted atacó

- nosotros/as atacamos

- vosotros/as atacasteis

- ellos/as/ustedes atacaron

Usage notes

Atacasteis indicates a completed action in the past and is most commonly heard in Spain, where the pronoun vosotros is standard. In most of Latin America, the vosotros form is not used; instead, ustedes are used for the second-person plural, and the corresponding preterite is atacaron. Consequently, Latin American speakers would typically say ustedes atacaron to express “you all attacked.” The spelling of atacasteis follows regular accent rules for -ar verbs in the preterite, with the accent on the second-to-last syllable in vosotros form.

Example

An example sentence: Ayer, vosotros atacasteis la muralla y ganasteis la batalla. Translation: Yesterday you all attacked the wall and won the battle.
