Entraram

Entraram is the third-person plural form of the verb entrar in the pretérito perfeito do indicativo in Portuguese, meaning “they entered.” It describes a completed action of entering by a group of people or things. The form is regular for -ar verbs: the stem entr- plus the ending -aram, yielding eles/elas entraram or vocês entraram.

Entrar comes from Latin intrare, meaning to go inside. In Portuguese, entrar retains that core sense of moving from outside to inside and can be followed by a location, such as entraram na casa or entraram no prédio.

Usage is common in narrative and reporting to place actions in the past. It contrasts with entrem/entram (present), and with entravam (imperfect). In Brazilian Portuguese, the form with vocês entraram is standard, while in European Portuguese the same form is used for the plural subject as well. Examples include: Eles entraram na sala sem fazer barulho; Vocês entraram tarde pelo corredor principal.
