llevasteis

Llevasteis is the second-person plural form of the pretérito indefinido (simple past) of the Spanish verb llevar. It is used chiefly in Spain, where the vosotros form is the informal plural you. This form indicates a completed action in the past and corresponds to “you all carried” or “you all wore,” depending on the context of llevar (to carry, to wear, to take).

Conjugation note: llevar in pretérito indefinido forms are: llevé, llevaste, llevó, llevamos, llevasteis, llevaron. The form llevasteis is regular for -ar verbs in this tense and is consistent with other vosotros endings such as hablastéis (in other verbs) and buscasteis.

Regional usage: Outside Spain, especially in Latin America, ustedes are used instead of vosotros, and the closest equivalent to llevasteis is llevaron, referring to ustedes. In regions using vosotros, llevasteis remains common when narrating past events involving a group of speakers and listeners.

Examples:

- Ayer llevasteis las cajas al coche y regresasteis tarde.

- ¿Qué llevasteis a la fiesta?

Summary: Llevasteis is a key form for expressing a completed past action by a group addressed as vosotros. Its use signals informal second-person plural speech characteristic of Spain, while other Spanish-speaking regions use ustedes with a corresponding preterite form.
