introduje

Introduje is the first-person singular form of the Spanish verb introducir in the preterite tense. It means "I introduced," "I inserted," or "I entered," depending on context. This form indicates a completed past action and is common in narrative and descriptive prose. It can refer to bringing something into a place, presenting a topic, or recording information in a system, among other senses.

Introducir comes from Latin introducere, built from intra- or intrō- meaning inside and ducere meaning to lead. In the Spanish preterite, verbs of the -cir group form the first-person singular as -je, so the yo form is introduje. Other forms follow the regular -er/-ir preterite endings: introdujiste, introdujo, introdujimos, introdujisteis, introdujeron. This spelling pattern is a regular feature of this verb class and does not affect other tenses, where the stem is introduc-.

Usage notes: introduje is used to describe a completed past action and can apply to various senses of introducir. Common constructions include introducing a topic, entering data into a form, or bringing someone into a context. Examples: “Ayer introduje el tema de la seguridad en la reunión.” “Para completar el registro, introduje mis datos en el formulario.” “El técnico introdujo una corrección en el código.” The verb is transitive and requires a direct object (tema, datos, solución, etc.).
