administraste

Administraste is a Spanish verb conjugation. It is the second-person singular preterite indicative form of the verb "administrar." The preterite tense is used to describe completed actions in the past. Therefore, "administraste" translates to "you administered" or "you managed" in English, referring to a specific action that was completed by the singular "you" at some point in the past.

The verb "administrar" itself has several related meanings, including to manage, to govern, to administer, to rule, to direct, or to dispense. When "administraste" is used, the specific nuance of "administrar" would be understood from the context of the sentence. For example, "Tú administráste la empresa" means "You managed the company," and "Tú administráste la medicina" means "You administered the medicine." The conjugation "administraste" is common in spoken and written Spanish when addressing a single person informally (using "tú"). It distinguishes this completed past action from other past tenses like the imperfect or pluperfect, which describe ongoing or prior past actions.
