neutralizasteis

Neutralizasteis is a verb form in Spanish. It represents the second-person plural simple past tense (pretérito indefinido) of the verb neutralizar, used with the vosotros form, and translates as "you all neutralized" in English. The form indicates a completed action performed by a group addressed as vosotros, a pronoun commonly used in Spain and some regional varieties.

Formation and usage notes: neutralizasteis is regular for -ar verbs in the pretérito indefinido. It is created by taking the present-stem neutraliz- and adding the ending -asteis. Because many dialects in Latin America do not use the vosotros form, they typically replace this with ustedes neutralizaron in the corresponding past tense; however, neutralizasteis remains correct in contexts where vosostros is the referent.

Regional variation and contemporary usage: today, vosotros and its past tense forms are most common in Spain and in some historical or formal registers. In many other Spanish-speaking regions, ustedes takes the place of vosotros, and the corresponding past tense is neutralizaron. Some learners may encounter neutralizasteis primarily in literary, instructional, or regional texts.

Example: Ayer vosotros neutralizasteis la amenaza sin incidentes. This sentence means that a group addressed as vosotros completed the action of neutralizing the threat yesterday.

Related forms: For the same verb, tú neutralizaste, él/ella/Ud. neutralizó, nosotros neutralizamos, vosotros neutralizasteis, ellos/ellas/Uds. neutralizaron. The concept of tense and subject in Spanish verbs is essential for expressing time and agreement across different regional varieties.
