llegan

Llegan is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb llegar, meaning "they arrive" and used with ustedes in many dialects to mean "you all arrive." The verb llegar is a regular -ar verb in the present tense, with forms: llego, llegas, llega, llegamos, llegáis, llegan. This form is used when the subject is ellos, ellas, o ustedes.

In everyday usage, llegan appears in sentences describing arrivals of people, vehicles, or events. Examples include: "Los trenes llegan a las ocho" and "Cuando llegan los camiones, la mercancía se descarga." The form can also appear in impersonal or headline-style constructions such as "Llegan refuerzos" or "Llega la primavera" with subject implied or omitted.

Llegar appears in many idiomatic expressions and verbal phrases that extend its meaning beyond simple “to arrive.” For instance, "llegar a un acuerdo" means "to reach an agreement," and "llegar a ser" means "to come to be" or "to become." In these phrases, the base infinitive llegar governs the tense and person of the subject, not the fixed form alone.

Notes on usage: llegar is commonly used in conjunction with time expressions (llegar tarde, llegar temprano) and with prepositional phrases indicating destination or result. The form llegan specifically marks a plural subject in the present tense, aligning with pronouns like ellos, ellas, or ustedes.
