Seguías

Seguías is the second person singular imperfect indicative form of the Spanish verb seguir, meaning to follow or to continue. This tense describes actions or states in the past that were ongoing, habitual, or not confined to a specific moment. As a form of seguir, seguías shares the same root as related forms such as sigo, sigues, seguimos, seguís, and siguen, but it appears only in the tú form of the imperfect.

Morphology and pronunciation: in the imperfect, seguir uses the regular endings for -er/-ir verbs with the verb stemsegu-. The forms include seguía, seguías, seguía, seguíamos, seguíais, seguían. The accent on the í marks the stress in the imperfect of this verb form. The pronunciation typically emphasizes the syllable containing the accented i.

Usage and meaning: seguías expresses past continuity or repetition. It can refer to physically following someone or something, as in following a path or instructions, or to figuratively continuing an action or pursuit. It contrasts with the preterite seguí (I followed) or the present sigues (you follow). Common contexts include descriptions of routines, habits, or sequences of events in the past, often accompanied by time expressions such as antes, siempre, o cuando.

Examples: "Tú seguías las instrucciones sin cuestionarlas." "Antes, tú seguías ese camino todos los días." "Cuando éramos jóvenes, tú seguías persiguiendo tus metas sin rendirte."
