corriguen

Corriguen is a form sometimes encountered in Spanish texts that is generally regarded as nonstandard or archaic in modern usage. In contemporary standard Spanish, the third-person plural present indicative of the verb corregir is corrigen. The spelling corriguen is not listed as the normal present-tense form in most modern dictionaries, and it is not used in formal writing.

The verb corregir comes from Latin corrigere, meaning to correct or rectify. In standard conjugation, the present-tense forms are: yo corrijo, tú corriges, él corrige, nosotros corregimos, vosotros corregís, ellos corrigen. Other moods and tenses follow regular patterns for -ir verbs with stem changes: por ejemplo, que yo corrija, que tú corrijas, que él corija, que nosotros corrijamos, que vosotros corrijáis, que ellos corrijan.

Corriguen may appear in historical texts, regional varieties, or as a mistaken spelling in contemporary writing. When encountered, it is prudent to consult the source or a reliable dictionary to determine whether the form reflects an archaic usage, a regional variant, or simply a orthographic error. If the intent is clear standard Spanish, corrigen should be used for the present indicative, while corregir remains the base form for reference.
