entregou

Entregou is the third-person singular form of the Portuguese verb entregar in the pretérito perfeito do indicativo, used to indicate a completed action in the past and commonly translated as “delivered” or “handed over.” It is typically followed by a direct object that specifies what was delivered, such as o relatório (the report), o pacote (the package), or as informações (the information). Example: Ele entregou o relatório ontem.

Entregar is a regular -ar verb, and entregar’s third-person singular pretérito perfeito form is built by removing the -ar and adding -ou to the stem entreg- to yield entregou. The verb’s past participle is entregue, used with auxiliary verbs to form perfect tenses (tenho entregue, tinha entregue). The participle can also function adjectivally, as in "documentos entregues" (delivered documents).

Entregou can appear in reflexive constructions with the pronoun se to express actions like surrender or submission, yielding entregou-se. For example: O suspeito entregou-se à polícia. In this sense, the verb indicates yielding oneself, rather than simply delivering an object.

Usage notes: entregou is common in both Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese, including journalism, literature, and everyday speech. It denotes a completed act in the past and does not itself convey future or habitual meaning, which are expressed by other tenses such as entrega (present) or entregava (imperfect).
