entrevistaste

Entrevistaste is a verb form used in Spanish (and in some Portuguese varieties) meaning “you interviewed.” It is the second-person singular preterite indicative of the verb entrevistar, which denotes the act of conducting an interview. As a regular -ar verb in Spanish, the form comes from the stem entrevist- plus the preterite ending -aste: tú entrevistaste. In Spanish, the subject pronoun tú is often omitted, yielding Entrevistaste al testigo.

In Portuguese, tu entrevistaste is likewise the simple past for the second person singular in many regional varieties, though Brazilian Portuguese frequently prefers você entrevistou. The meaning remains the same: you conducted an interview. Examples: Spanish: “Ayer entrevistaste al testigo.” Portuguese: “Ontem, entrevistaste o diretor.”

Usage and style: entrevistaste is used to describe a completed past action in which the speaker or a referenced tú (you) conducted an interview with someone. It appears in narrative or descriptive past contexts and is typically followed by a direct object (the person interviewed) and, optionally, the interview subject.

Relation to other forms: related forms include entrevistar (infinitive), entrevistó (él/ella/usted preterite), entrevistábamos (nosotros imperfect), and other person-number combinations in both languages. The noun corresponding to the act is entrevista.

Notes: The precise spelling and usage can vary between Spanish-speaking regions and Portuguese-speaking regions, reflecting dialectal conventions for the second-person past tense. Overall, entrevistaste represents a straightforward, regular past-tense form used to report a completed interview conducted by you.
