Imaginasteis

Imaginasteis is the second-person plural preterite form of the Spanish verb imaginar. It expresses that “you all imagined” and is used with the vosotros subject, a form traditional in Spain and in regions where this pronoun is maintained.

Conjugation and morphology: Imaginar is a regular -ar verb. In the preterite, the endings are -é, -aste, -ó, -amos, -asteis, -aron. Therefore, the vosotros form is imaginasteis, formed by attaching -asteis to the stem imagin-. This form indicates a completed action in the past carried out by a group.

Usage and regional variation: The use of imaginasteis is common in Spain and in contexts that retain vosotros. In many Latin American dialects, where ustedes replaces vosotros, the corresponding past tense is imaginaron, making imaginasteis rare in everyday speech there.

Examples: Vosotros imaginasteis un escenario improbable. ¿Imaginasteis que todo saldría bien? Ayer imaginasteis un final distinto para la historia.

Notes: Imaginar is a regular verb in the preterite, so imaginasteis does not involve stem changes or irregular conjugations. The form is distinct from the ustedes past tense and from the singular tú forms, serving to address a plural second-person subject.
