completasteis

Completasteis is the second-person plural form of the verb completar in the preterite tense. It is used when addressing a group of people with the pronoun vosotros, indicating that you all completed something in the past. It is characteristic of Peninsular Spanish, where vosotros is a common second-person plural pronoun.

As a regular verb in the first conjugation (-ar), completar follows the standard preterite endings: -é, -aste, -ó, -amos, -asteis, -aron. Therefore, completasteis is formed by removing the -ar from completar and adding -asteis to the stem. Because it is regular, its usage and pronunciation align with other -ar verbs in the preterite.

In regional use, completasteis is common in Spain and regions where vosotros is customary. In most of Latin America, where the vosotros form is not used, the corresponding past-tense is formed with ustedes, producing completaron, which is used for both formal and informal plural address. Consequently, completasteis may appear in instructional materials, literature, or dialogues that preserve the vosotros form, but it is less common in everyday Latin American speech.

Example sentences: "Ayer completasteis el informe." (Yesterday you all completed the report.) "¿Completasteis la tarea a tiempo?" (Did you all finish the assignment on time?) This form demonstrates the past action by a group addressed as vosotros, consistent with the standard -asteis pattern of the pretérito indefinido for -ar verbs.
