enseñan

Enseñan is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb enseñar, meaning to teach. It is used when the subject is a group (ellos, ellas) or the formal you plural (ustedes), indicating that they are teaching or showing something.

As a transitive verb, enseñar takes a direct object specifying what is taught, such as a subject or a skill. It also commonly appears with a + infinitive to indicate teaching someone to perform an action: enseñar a leer, enseñar a conducir. The recipient of the instruction can be explicit (para ellos, a los niños) or understood from context. The form enseña, enseñamos, enseñáis, and enseñan cover all the person and number combinations in present tense.

Common contexts include education, training, and demonstrations. Enseñar emphasizes instruction and the systematic imparting of knowledge or vaardigheden, rather than mere demonstration. Related verbs include instruir, educar, and mostrar, which emphasize different nuances of teaching or showing.

Examples:

- Los maestros enseñan matemáticas. (The teachers teach mathematics.)

- Ellos enseñan a los niños a leer. (They teach the children to read.)

- Ustedes enseñan técnicas de seguridad en el taller. (You all teach workshop safety techniques.)

In sum, enseńan functions as a flexible present-tense form used to describe ongoing teaching by a plural subject, with usage spanning subjects, skills, and instructional actions.
