Ubicaron

Ubicaron is the pretérito perfecto simple form of the Spanish verb ubicar in the third-person plural. Ubicar means to locate, place, or situate, and ubicaron is used to describe a past action in which a location was determined or something was placed.

As a regular -ar verb, ubicar forms its preterite with the endings -é, -aste, -ó, -amos, -asteis, -aron. The third-person plural form is ubicaron. The yo form is ubiqué, with a spelling change to preserve the hard 'c' before 'e'.

Usage: It covers locating people or objects, identifying where something is or was, or placing something in a specific position. In journalism or history, ubicaron can indicate the outcome of a search or the determination of a location in the past. In everyday speech, it can describe placing or situating something physically or metaphorically.

Examples: Los arqueólogos ubicaron las ruinas en la región norte. Las autoridades ubicaron al sospechoso cerca de la estación. El museo ubicó las esculturas en la sala principal.
