fabricaron

Fabricaron is the third-person plural preterite indicative form of the Spanish verb fabricar, meaning to manufacture or to fabricate. It is used to describe actions completed in the past, such as producing goods, or, in a figurative sense, making up something.

As a regular -ar verb, fabricar follows standard preterite endings: -é, -aste, -ó, -amos, -asteis, -aron. Therefore fabricaron corresponds to ellos, ellas, or ustedes in past tense. It is pronounced fa-bri-ka-ron.

Typical uses include concrete production: "Las empresas fabricaron vehículos en la fábrica." and the figurative sense of fabrication: "Fabricaron una historia para justificar su retraso."

Fabricaron contrasts with the imperfect form fabricaban, which describes ongoing or repeated past actions, and with the participle fabricado, used as an adjective or in passive voice. The noun related to the action is fabricación, while the process is the act of fabricar.

Related terms include fabricar (to manufacture), fabricación (manufacturing), and fabricado (manufactured; past participle).
