Conjugation and usage: Facilitar is a regular -ar verb. In pretérito perfeito do indicativo, the full paradigm is eu facilitei, tu facilitaste, ele facilitou, nós facilitamos, vós facilitastes, eles facilitaram. The form facilitaram is specifically used for the third-person plural past, as in “they facilitated.”

It appears in formal writing, journalism, and narrative text to describe measures, events, or interventions that reduced difficulties.
