explorar is to explore, what is explored as in she explored?

Question

I have some text I got translated (not professionally). It states "The children explored..." It was translated exploron. This site says that is not a correct word, that explorar is to explore. But what is the past tense or "explored"?

Hello, and welcome to the forum, sepaull. Good for you checking the translation. :) - MacFadden, Jul 27, 2010

Answer 1

There is a very good conjugation tool right on this sight.

Look for the preterite under the indicative box. You will need the third person plural, the last one listed, because the children are doing the exploring. - MacFadden, Jul 27, 2010

Unless of course you are talking about how they used to explore all the time. Then you'll need the imperfect. - MacFadden, Jul 27, 2010

Answer 2

I believe it would be the preterite exploraron

Answer 3

indicative preterite third person- exploró. i think that is right. unless it's sneakily irregular. use the conjugation reference page.

oh woops for some reason i thought this was said she explored. exploraron- third person plural.

The title of the question is different than the description of the question. - 0074b507, Jul 28, 2010
