entregabais

Entregabais is a Spanish verb form. It is the second-person plural imperfect indicative form of the verb entregar, used with the pronoun vosotros. The form expresses a habitual or ongoing action of delivering in the past.

Grammatical notes: Entregar is a regular -ar verb. In the imperfect tense, the endings for vosotros are -abais, yielding entregabais. The full imperfect paradigm for entregar is: yo entregaba, tú entregabas, él/ella entregaba, nosotros entregábamos, vosotros entregabais, ellos entregaban. In regions where the vos or vosotros forms are uncommon or avoided, such as much of Latin America, the corresponding past tense for ustedes is entregaban.

Usage and examples: The imperfect describes past habitual actions, background descriptions, and scenes in narrative. Example: Cada semana, vosotros entregabais los paquetes en la oficina. Another example: Cuando trabajabais allí, entregabais los pedidos a tiempo. The form is common in Spain and in texts that use vosotros; in Latin American Spanish you would normally use ustedes entregaban instead of entregabais.
