refizeram

Refizeram is a Portuguese verb form corresponding to the third-person plural of refazer in the pretérito perfeito, the simple past tense. It denotes that a group completed the action of remaking or doing again something that had been done before.

Etymology and conjugation: The verb refazer is built from the prefix re- (again) combined with the verb fazer (to do/make). In the pretérito perfeito, the form for the third person plural is refizeram, reflecting a stem change from refazer to refizer and the standard -am ending. Other forms include eu refiz, tu fizeste, ele refez, nós refizemos, and eles refizeram.

Usage: Refizeram is used to describe a completed action in the past where a team, group, or plural subject redid something. It is common in narrative writing, reporting, and everyday speech when indicating revisions, corrections, or recreations of objects, works, processes, or plans.

Examples: Eles refizeram o relatório após as sugestões da revisão. (They redid the report after the review suggestions.) Os designers refizeram o protótipo ao descobrir falhas. (The designers redid the prototype after finding faults.)
