asistió

Asistió is the third-person singular preterite indicative form of the Spanish verb asistir. This verb has two primary meanings: to attend and to assist. The specific meaning in a given context is determined by the preposition used with the verb.

When followed by the preposition "a," asistir translates to "to attend." For example, "Él asistió a la reunión" means "He attended the meeting." This usage indicates physical presence at an event, place, or gathering. It signifies participation or being present.

When followed by the preposition "a" or "en," and referring to helping or aiding someone, asistir translates to "to assist." For instance, "Ella asistió al herido" means "She assisted the injured person." This usage implies providing help, support, or aid. The context of the sentence will clarify whether it refers to attending an event or providing assistance. The preterite tense, indicated by "asistió," signifies a completed action in the past. Therefore, "asistió" specifically means that someone (he, she, or it) attended or assisted at a particular point in the past.
