Which is correct? Tu me dijiste... o Tu me dijistes... ?

Question

It is a self-explanatory question on grammar.

Answer 1

If there is a person, it's "Tú me dijiste", but more than one person, it's "Vosotros me dijisteis". Moreover, Tú and vosotros are usually absent.

Answer 2

Hi and welcome to the forum. The preterit is "dijiste" (you said).

If you click on the "More" button at the top of this page a menu will pop up -- there is a conjugation tool there.

Answer 3

The correct form is dijiste. Adding the "s" is just a bad habit for many Spanish speaking natives. I even catch my boyfriend doing it at times... such as "¿ya comistes?" Some do that for most of the verbs in the "tú" preterit from. I also practice in espanglish chat, and I catch people typing it that same way...

Si, ya sabia la respuesta porque mi primer lenguaje es el Espanol, pero despues de mucho tiempo aqui, pienso en Ingles. Al escuchar a otros usar la forma incorrecta uno comienza a dudar, pero ya no! Gracias. - PATVED, ABR 15, 2010
