possuías

Possuías is a Spanish verb form. It is the second-person singular imperfect indicative of the verb "poseer," which means to possess or to own. In practical use, "possuías" would translate to "you possessed" or "you used to possess." This verb tense is employed to describe ongoing or habitual actions in the past, or to describe states of being in the past that were not necessarily completed. For instance, one might say "Tú possuías un gran jardín" which means "You possessed a large garden." The imperfect indicative is distinct from the preterite tense, which is used for completed actions in the past. The preterite form of "poseer" for the second-person singular is "poseíste." Therefore, "possuías" specifically denotes a past situation or action that was ongoing or habitual, rather than a single, completed event. Understanding the nuances of verb tenses like the imperfect indicative is crucial for accurate comprehension and expression in Spanish.
