jalaron

Jalaron is the third-person plural preterite form of the Spanish verb jalar, meaning “they pulled” (or “you all pulled” in contexts using ustedes). The infinitive jalar means to pull or tug. As a regular -ar verb, jalaron is formed by taking the stem jal- and adding the ending -aron. It denotes a completed action in the past with subjects such as ellos, ellas, or ustedes.

Usage examples illustrate past actions in narratives or reports. For instance: “Los obreros jalaron de la cuerda hasta abrir la compuerta,” which translates to “The workers pulled on the rope until the gate opened.”

Notes: jalaron functions solely as a conjugated verb form; it is not a standalone noun or a widely used proper noun. It can appear in writing and speech whenever the past simple tense is required for third-person plural subjects.
