resistieron
Resistieron is the pretérito indefinido form of the Spanish verb resistir, used for the third person plural. It translates as “they resisted” and, in contexts where ustedes is the subject, as “you (plural) resisted.” It is commonly found in narrative and historical texts to describe acts of opposition in the past, such as resisting pressure, attacks, or oppression. The form resistieron is created from the stem resist- plus the typical -ieron ending for -ir verbs in that tense, making resistieron the standard preterite for ellos/ellas/ustedes. The full conjugation in this tense is: resistí, resististe, resistió, resistimos, resististeis, resistieron. Resistir can be used both transitively—resistir una embestida, resistir la presión—and intransitively in other contexts.
