Abrió

Abrió is a Spanish word. It is the third-person singular preterite indicative form of the verb "abrir." The verb "abrir" means "to open" in English. Therefore, "abrió" translates to "he/she/it opened" or "you opened" (formal singular) in English.

This form is used to describe a completed action in the past. For example, "Él abrió la puerta" means "He opened the door." Similarly, "Ella abrió el libro" means "She opened the book." The context of the sentence determines whether "abrió" refers to a male, female, or an inanimate object. It is also used in the formal "usted" conjugation, where "Usted abrió la ventana" means "You opened the window."

The preterite tense is employed for actions that have a definite beginning and end in the past. Unlike the imperfect tense, which describes ongoing or habitual actions, the preterite signifies a single, completed event. Hence, "abrió" marks a specific instance of opening something. The verb "abrir" is a regular -ir verb, making its conjugation straightforward in most tenses, including the preterite.
