pelasteis

Pelasteis is the second person plural form of the Spanish verb pelar in the pretérito simple (also called pretérito perfecto simple or simple past). It corresponds to the English "you peeled" when addressing a group informally (vosotros). Pelar means to peel, skin, or strip the outer layer of fruits, vegetables, or other materials. Pelar is a regular -ar verb, so its vosostros form follows the standard pattern: the stem pel- plus the ending -asteis, yielding pelasteis.

Usage notes: The form pelasteis is common in Spain and regions where the pronoun vosotros is used. In most of Latin America, the vosotros form is not used, and the corresponding past tense for ustedes is pelaron (you all peeled). In contexts where vosotros is appropriate, pelasteis is used to describe a completed action in the past by a group.

Examples:

- Ayer vosotros pelasteis las patatas para la cena.

- ¿Qué hicisteis en la tarde? Pelasteis las frutas para el postre.

Compared forms in the same tense include pelé, pelaste, peló, pelamos, pelasteis, pelaron, with pelasteis specifically marking the second-person plural subject. Pelasteis should not be confused with verbs of similar spelling or with other tenses of pelar.
