Interrumpisteis

Interrumpisteis is a verb form in Spanish that corresponds to the second-person plural pronoun vosotros. It appears in the pretérito indefinido (pretérito perfecto simple) of the verb interrumpir, and translates to “you all interrupted” in English. This form is used to describe actions completed in the past by a group addressed informally as vosotros.

In terms of regional usage, the vosotros forms are standard in Spain and in some contexts of literature and education, but are uncommon in most Latin American varieties of Spanish. In many Spanish-speaking countries, the corresponding past tense would use the ustedes form, giving interrumpieron, or rely on the vosotros form in more formal or written settings. Therefore, interrumpisteis is primarily encountered in Spain or in materials that preserve the vosotros paradigm.

Usage notes: interrumpisteis follows regular conjugation patterns for -ir verbs in the pretérito indefinido. It is used when the speaker is directly addressing a group informally, such as a class, colleagues, or friends, and wants to indicate that they interrupted at a specific past moment. The form can appear in dialogue, narratives, or instructional texts to convey past actions by multiple individuals.

Examples:

- Durante la reunión, vosotros interrumpisteis al ponente varias veces.

- ¿Qué dijisteis después de interrumpir la presentación?
