Construíste

Construíste is the second-person singular preterite indicative form of the Spanish verb construir, which means "to build" or "to construct." This verb conjugation specifically indicates an action of building or constructing that was completed in the past by "you" (singular, informal). For example, "Tú construíste una casa" translates to "You built a house." The preterite tense is used for actions that have a definite beginning and end, and construíste falls into this category. It signifies a completed act of construction performed by the individual addressed. Understanding this conjugation is important for accurately conveying past actions in Spanish. The verb construir itself is irregular in some conjugations, but the preterite forms for -ir verbs like construir are generally predictable, with construíste being the standard form for the second-person singular.
