Cubristeis

Cubristeis is the second-person plural preterite form of the Spanish verb cubrir, used with the vosotros pronoun. It translates to “you all covered” or “you covered” in English and is common in Spain and other regions that use the vos form. In most of Latin America, where ustedes is standard, the corresponding preterite form for you all is cubrieron.

Conjugation notes: cubrir in the preterite follows the regular -ir verb pattern for the past tense, with the vosotros form ending in -isteis. Therefore, the full paradigm includes: yo cubrí, tú cubriste, él cubrió, nosotros cubrimos, vosotros cubristeis, ellos cubrieron. The form cubristeis specifically corresponds to the action performed by ustedes or by vosotros in the past, depending on regional usage.

Usage: cubristeis is used to describe actions of covering or supplying coverage completed in the past by a group addressed as vosotros. It can also appear in idiomatic expressions where cubrir has a figurative sense, such as covering a topic or a coverage-related context.

Examples:

- Ayer, vosotros cubristeis la mesa con un mantel nuevo. (Yesterday, you all covered the table with a new tablecloth.)

- Durante la tormenta, vosotros cubristeis las ventanas con lonas. (During the storm, you all covered the windows with tarps.)
