comunicaron

Comunicaron is the third-person plural form of the Spanish verb comunicar in the pretérito indefinido (simple past). It translates as "they communicated" or, in many contexts, as "they reported" or "they conveyed" information. As a regular -ar verb, its preterite ending for ellos/ellas/ustedes is -aron, making comunicaron the standard form for a plural subject in the past. The verb’s infinitive is comunicar; its gerund is comunicando, and its past participle is comunicado. The yo preterite form is comuniqué (note the accent), while other standard forms follow the regular pattern across moods and tenses.

Usage in discourse is common in journalism, business, and reporting of statements. It is typically employed when a group or multiple actors is responsible for sharing information to others. For example: Los investigadores comunicaron los resultados del estudio; Las autoridades comunicaron que no hay riesgo inmediato. Combinary with synonyms such as informar or anunciar, comunicaron emphasizes the act of conveying information to an audience, sometimes without implying an official declaration, depending on context.

Etymology traces the word to comunicar, from Latin communicare, meaning to share or impart. In modern Spanish, comunicar covers a range of meanings from transmitting information to signaling or making something known to others. The form comunicaron is restricted to plural subjects in the past; for singular subjects, corresponding forms are comunicó (él/ella/usted) and comunicó (usted) in the pretérito indefinido.
