seguiste

Seguiste is the second-person singular form of the Spanish verb seguir in the preterite tense. It translates as "you followed" or "you continued" and is used to describe a completed action in the past, whether you physically followed someone or you continued with a course of action.

Etymology and grammar: Seguir comes from Latin sequi, to follow. In Spanish, seguir is irregular in some tenses; in the preterite, its forms are seguí, seguiste, siguió, seguimos, siguieron. The second-person singular seguiste is formed from the stem segu- plus the standard preterite ending -iste.

Usage and examples: Seguiste is commonly used to report past actions. Examples: "Ayer seguiste las indicaciones del manual." or "Ayer seguiste las instrucciones al pie de la letra." and "Después de la pausa seguiste con el proyecto." In questions, one might say "¿Seguiste el camino correcto?" to ask whether someone followed the right path.
