**Tips to remember the word ‘llevaste’:**

1. Associate ‘llevar’ with ‘carry’ or ‘wear’ and ‘-aste’ as the second person singular past tense ending in Spanish, specific to the preterite.
2. Think of “laste” as part of “you lasted carrying something” to help remember the second person singular form, even though it’s not a direct translation.
3. Picture a scenario where you’re telling a friend, “You carried the bag yesterday,” which in Spanish translates to “Llevaste la bolsa ayer.”

**Explanations:**

‘Llevaste’ is the second person singular (tú) preterite tense form of the verb ‘llevar,’ which means ‘to carry,’ ‘to bring,’ or ‘to wear’ in Spanish.

**Other words that mean the same thing:**
