renovaron

Renovaron is the third-person plural preterite indicative form of the Spanish verb renovar, meaning to renovate or restore. It is used to describe a completed renovation carried out by ellos, ellas, or ustedes. In most dialects, renovaron corresponds to “they renovated” and to “you (plural) renovated” when the subject is ustedes.

Etymology and morphology: renovar comes from the combination of re- (again, back) and renovar’s root related to novus, “new,” ultimately from Latin renovare. The form renovaron follows the standard Spanish preterite endings for -ar verbs in the third-person plural.

Usage notes: Renovaron appears in a wide range of contexts, including construction, property management, and historical reporting. It denotes a finished action in the past and is common in journalism, project summaries, and narrative accounts of renovations or restorations.

Examples:

- Los constructores renovaron el edificio durante el último trimestre. (The builders renovated the building during the last quarter.)

- Ustedes renovaron el acuerdo con las partes interesadas, lo que permitió avanzar con el proyecto. (You all renewed/renovated the agreement with the stakeholders, enabling the project to proceed.)

Related forms: The infinitive is renovar; the noun form is renovación; the past participle is renovado. Renova- with the preterite renovaron is distinct from renovó (él/ella/usted) or renové (yo).
