llenasteis

Llenasteis is the second-person plural form of the verb llenar in the pretérito indefinido (simple past) in Spanish. It corresponds to the vosotros form used in Spain and expresses a completed action in the past, typically translated as “you all filled.”

Morphology and conjugation: llenar is a regular -ar verb, so its pretérito indefinido endings are -é, -aste, -ó, -amos, -asteis, -aron. Therefore, the vosotros form is llenasteis. The full conjugation in the pretérito indefinido is: yo llené, tú llenaste, él llenó, nosotros llenamos, vosotros llenasteis, ellos llenaron. In many regions outside Spain, the vosotros forms are not used, and ustedes llenaron is used instead to express the past tense.

Usage and regional variation: Llenasteis is commonly used to describe past actions where a container, space, or form was completed or made full, for example, llenar una botella, llenar un formulario o llenar una habitación. The form is characteristic of peninsular Spanish; in Latin American Spanish, speakers would typically use ustedes llenaron in the corresponding past tense rather than llenasteis.

Examples:

- Ayer llenasteis las botellas para el picnic.

- ¿Quiénes llenasteis los formularios de inscripción?

- Llenasteis la sala con globos para la fiesta.

Etymology and related forms: Derived from the verb llenar, which means to make something full or to complete a capacity. Llenasteis is part of the regular -ar conjugation pattern in the pretérito indefinido and contrasts with imperfect forms like llenabais, which describe ongoing past actions.
