peinaron

Peinar is a Spanish verb meaning to comb hair. "Peinaron" is the pretérito indefinido (past simple) form for the third person plural, corresponding to "they combed" or "you all combed" in many Spanish-speaking regions. It is a regular -ar verb in this tense, formed from the stem pein- plus the ending -aron.

In full conjugation for the pretérito indefinido, the forms are: yo peiné, tú peinaste, él/ella/usted peinó, nosotros peinamos, vosotros peinasteis, ellos/ellas/ustedes peinaron. The accent marks appear in the first and third person singular forms, as shown. The form "peinaron" is used when the subject is plural and performed the action of combing, either on someone else's hair or on their own, depending on the sentence.

Usage notes: Peinaron describes a completed past action and is typically used with a direct object to specify what or whose hair was combed, as in "Ellos peinaron el cabello de las modelos" or "Ellos peinaron el cabello de los niños." The verb can also appear in narrative passages to recount steps in a grooming routine, a makeover, o a hairstyling process.

Related forms include peinar (infinitive), peina (present indicative third person singular), and the reflexive se peina/se peinan (to comb one’s own hair). Understanding peinaron helps with general past-tense narration and with constructing sentences about grooming and hair-related actions in Spanish.
