configurasteis

Configurasteis is the second-person plural preterite (simple past) form of the Spanish verb configurar in the vosotros form. It corresponds to “you all configured” in English and is used to describe actions completed in the past by a group addressed as vosotros.

In modern Spanish, vosotros forms are primarily used in Spain and some other regions, while in much of Latin America the vosotros forms are not standard. In those varieties, the corresponding preterite for ustedes is configuraron. Configurar is a regular -ar verb, so its preterite endings follow the pattern: -é, -aste, -ó, -amos, -asteis, -aron. Therefore, configurasteis forms the vosotros preterite.

Usage notes show that configurasteis is used with the vosotros pronoun and appears in both written and spoken Spanish in Spain. It can appear in narratives, dialogue, or any context where the vosotros form is appropriate. In regions that do not use vosotros, speakers would typically replace it with ustedes and the corresponding preterite configuration.

Examples:

- Vosotros configurasteis la alarma ayer.

- ¿Vosotros configurasteis las cuentas antes de la reunión?

Related forms include other preterite forms of configurar (configuré, configuraste, configuró, configuramos, configuraron) and related conjugations in different tenses and moods. Configurasteis thus serves as a clear marker of the second-person plural past action in the vosotros varieties of Spanish.
