Rebasaste

Rebasaste is the second-person singular form of the Spanish verb rebasar in the pretérito perfecto simple (preterite). The verb means to surpass, exceed, or overtake something, such as a limit, an expectation, or another competitor. Rebasaste indicates that you (tú) completed the action of surpassing in the past. The form is common in both Spain and Latin America and is used with the pronoun tú or with an understood tú subject.

Usage and nuances: Rebasar is used in physical contexts (for example, overtaking another vehicle) as well as in figurative contexts (for example, surpassing goals or expectations). It is a neutral term; the emotional tone depends on the broader sentence and context. It often appears in reports, narratives, or formal commentary as well as informal speech. It can be contrasted with synonyms such as superar or exceder, which may carry slightly different nuances in certain regions.

Grammatical notes: Rebasaste is one of several finite preterite forms of rebasar. Other forms include rebasé (I surpassed), rebasaste (you surpassed), and rebasó (he/she/it surpassed). Rebasar is a transitive verb and typically takes a direct object (the thing surpassed), though it can also be used with a clause or phrase indicating the surpassed limit or goal.

Examples: "Ayer rebasaste las metas propuestas." "Rebasaste el límite de velocidad." This form is used when the subject is tú and the action is completed in the past. See also rebasar, superar, exceder.
