reevalué

Reevaluó is the third-person singular preterite form of the Spanish verb reevaluar, meaning to reevaluate or reassess. It indicates that someone reevaluated something in the past and can refer to él reevaluó, ella reevaluó, or usted reevaluó.

Etymology and grammar: reevaluar is formed from the prefix re- meaning again, plus evaluar, “to evaluate.” The preterite conjugation of this regular -ar verb follows the standard pattern: yo reevalué, tú reevaluaste, él/ella/Ud. reevaluó, nosotros reevaluamos, vosotros reevaluasteis, ellos reevaluaron. The form reevaluó bears the stress on the final syllable, as typical for the preterite endings of -ar verbs.

Usage: The term is common in professional, academic, and journalistic contexts where conclusions, plans, or results are reconsidered after new information or analysis. It can describe revising judgments about policies, budgets, experimental data, or strategic decisions. Related forms include reevaluación (the noun for the process of reevaluation) and reevaluado/ reevaluada (the past participle).

Example: The committee reevaluó the project after reviewing new data. In Spanish: El comité reevaluó el proyecto tras revisar los nuevos datos.
