dependió

Dependió is a Spanish verb form, specifically the third-person singular preterite indicative of the verb depender. This means it refers to a past action that happened at a specific point in time, and it was done by "he," "she," or "it." The verb depender itself translates to "to depend on" or "to rely on." Therefore, "dependió" signifies that someone or something in the past relied upon or was contingent upon another person, thing, or circumstance.

For example, in a sentence like "El éxito del proyecto dependió de la financiación," it translates to "The success of the project depended on the funding." Here, "dependió" indicates a completed past action where the project's success was directly contingent on the availability of funds. The preterite tense is used because it describes a definitive event in the past, not an ongoing or habitual action. Understanding "dependió" requires recognizing its grammatical function within Spanish sentence structure and its core meaning of reliance or contingency.
