Spanish Past Participle The Spanish past participle
is very easy to form and is used both as an adjective and in some verb
constructions.
When you use a past participle as an adjective it will always come after the noun it describes.
When you use it in a verb construction it always follows the pattern haber + past participle.
To form the participle, you will simply drop the ending of an -ar, -er, or verb, then add the appropriate ending (-ado, -ido).
So how would you form the past participle of an -ar verb hablar?
| Drop the -ar | Add -ado | | habl-ar | hablado | How about the past participle of an -er verb like comer (to eat)?
| Drop the -er | Add -ido | | com-er | comido |
How would you form the past participle of an -ir verb like morir (to die)?
| Drop the -ir | Add -ido | | mor-ir | morido | That wasn't so bad was it?
The pattern is always the same for all verbs.
