Afirmó

Afirmó is the third-person singular preterite indicative form of the Spanish verb "afirmar." "Afirmar" translates to "to affirm," "to assert," "to state," or "to confirm" in English. Therefore, "afirmó" means "he/she/it affirmed," "he/she/it asserted," "he/she/it stated," or "he/she/it confirmed." This verb conjugation is used to describe a completed action in the past by a single subject.

For example, in the sentence "Él afirmó que vendría" (He affirmed that he would come), "afirmó" indicates that the act of affirming was completed by "él" (he) at a specific point in the past. Similarly, "Ella afirmó su inocencia" (She asserted her innocence) uses "afirmó" to denote the past action of asserting.

The preterite tense is generally used for actions that have a definite beginning and end, distinguishing them from the imperfect tense, which describes ongoing or habitual actions in the past. "Afirmó" therefore signifies a direct, completed declaration or confirmation.
