llegaran
"Llegaran" is the third person plural form of the verb "llegar" in the imperfect subjunctive, meaning "they arrived" or "they would arrive" depending on the context.
In this instance, 'llegaran' is used as an imperfect subjunctive verb form to express hope or doubt about their arrival at a past time.
Espero que llegaran a tiempo para la reunión.
I hope they arrived on time for the meeting.
Here, 'llegaran' acts in a conditional sentence, representing a hypothetical situation in the past with potential outcomes.
Si llegaran temprano, podríamos comenzar el proyecto antes.
If they arrived early, we could start the project earlier.
In this example, 'llegaran' is again the imperfect subjunctive, used to express a past thought or assumption.
