conducías

Conducías is a Spanish verb form. It is the imperfect indicative second-person singular form of the verb conducir, which means "to drive" or "to lead." Therefore, "conducías" translates to "you were driving" or "you used to drive." This tense is used to describe actions that were ongoing or habitual in the past.

For example, in the sentence "Tú conducías muy rápido," the verb "conducías" indicates that the action of driving fast was a continuous or repeated occurrence in the past. The imperfect tense contrasts with the preterite tense, which would describe a completed action. So, "Condujiste rápido" would mean "You drove fast" (a single completed action).

The verb "conducir" itself has a broader meaning beyond just operating a vehicle. It can also mean to lead, to manage, or to conduct oneself. In these contexts, "conducías" would translate to "you were leading," "you were managing," or "you were conducting yourself." The specific meaning is determined by the context of the sentence.

Understanding the imperfect indicative is crucial for accurately conveying past events in Spanish. "Conducías" specifically points to the past actions of "you" (informal singular) in relation to driving or leading.
