Subrayasteis

Subrayasteis is a Spanish verb form from subrayar. It is the second-person plural preterite (simple past) indicative form, used to say that you all underlined something in the past. Subrayar is a regular -ar verb, and the preterite endings for the vosotr os form are -asteis, yielding subrayasteis.

The full preterite paradigm for subrayar is: yo subrayé; tú subrayaste; él/ella/usted subrayó; nosotros subrayamos; vosotros subrayasteis; ellos/ellas/ustedes subrayaron. Regional usage varies: in Spain, the vosotros form is common; in much of Latin America, the vosotros forms are not used, and the corresponding past tense is formed with ustedes, as in subrayaron.

Example sentences illustrate usage: Ayer subrayasteis los conceptos clave del texto. En América Latina, dirían: Ayer subrayaron los conceptos clave del texto. The form is regular and straightforward, with the meaning clearly tied to the action of drawing a line under text to emphasize it. It appears in instructional, literary, editorial, and everyday contexts where past emphasis or highlighting is described.
