Colgaste

Colgaste is the second-person singular form of the Spanish verb colgar in the pretérito indefinido (simple past). It is used to refer to a past action in which you performed the act of hanging something, or to indicate that you ended a telephone call, among other uses.

In practice, colgaste can describe both physical hanging and figurative or communicative actions. Examples include colgaste la ropa en el tendedero, colgaste el teléfono, or colgaste un cartel en la puerta. The exact meaning depends on the object and context of the sentence.

Conjugation and notes: Colgar is an -ar verb. In the pretérito, the forms are: yo colgué, tú colgaste, él colgó, nosotros colgamos, vosotros colgasteis, ellos colgaron. The yo form colgué carries an accent to preserve the hard g before e. The tú form is colgaste, which is the form described here.

Usage considerations: Colgaste appears in narratives and dialogues to indicate completed past actions directed at the second person. When writing about different subjects or tenses, other forms (colgó, colgamos, colgaron) are used accordingly.
