Conectaron

Conectaron is the third-person plural form of the Spanish verb conectar in the pretérito indefinido (simple past). It translates as “they connected” and, in regions where the usted/ustedes form is used, can also convey “you (plural) connected.” The form is produced from the infinitive conectar with the standard -ar verb ending -aron in this tense, and it is used with subjects ellos, ellas, or ustedes.

Etymology and meaning: Conectar comes from the prefix con- (together) and a root related to “nect-” meaning to bind or join, with further derivation from Latin elements such as connectare. The sense of the verb includes linking, joining, or putting together physical objects, networks, ideas, or systems.

Usage: Conectaron is commonly used to describe completed actions in the past. In technical or practical contexts, it often refers to linking devices or networks, such as “Conectaron los cables a la fuente” or “Conectaron la impresora a la red.” In narrative or reporting, it can describe past events of establishing connections between different elements, ideas, or locations. The form appears in both everyday speech and formal writing.
