You probably remember learning about past participles with the verb haber<\/em>. In English, a past participle is a form of a verb that usually ends in \u2013ed<\/em>. However, they can take on many different forms depending on what language that verb comes from. In Spanish, past participles are actually extremely common as adjectives. You might just not even realize that\u2019s what they are! We\u2019ll remind you how to form past participles, and then show you some common examples in context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forming past participles in Spanish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to form a past participle, you need to start with the verb in the infinitive<\/a>. As a reminder, infinitives are verbs in the most basic form. These are when verbs end in \u2013ar, -er <\/em>or \u2013ir<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with verbs that end in \u2013ar<\/em>. First, you\u2019re going to take off the \u2013ar<\/em> ending. Then, you\u2019re going to end \u2013ado<\/em>. For example, the verb hablar <\/em>as a past participle is hablado<\/em>, which in English means \u201ctalked.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, looking at verbs that end in \u2013er <\/em>and \u2013ir<\/em>, the process is very similar. You\u2019re going to take off the \u2013er <\/em>or \u2013ir <\/em>ending, and add \u2013ido<\/em>. For a verb like comer<\/em>, it\u2019s going to become comido<\/em>, or \u201ceaten.\u201d The verb vivir<\/em> becomes vivido<\/em>, meaning \u201clived.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might be wondering, what makes these past participles different as adjectives? So far, they look pretty similar! The difference is that adjectives in Spanish must do something different- they must agree with the noun they modify based on gender and number. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you remember the verb haber<\/em>, you didn\u2019t have to change the participle based on anything; it always ended in \u2013ado <\/em>or \u2013ido<\/em>. However, just like all kinds of other adjectives<\/a>, we need to make them agree with the noun. A past participle that comes after a masculine noun would end in \u2013ado<\/em>, \u2013ados<\/em>, \u2013ido<\/em> or \u2013idos<\/em>, depending on if it\u2019s singular or plural, or if it\u2019s an \u2013ar, -er <\/em>or -ir <\/em>noun. Similarly, if it comes after a feminine noun, it could end in -ada, -adas, -ida<\/em> or \u2013idas<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, I could say la mujer emocionada<\/strong><\/em> to say \u201cthe excited woman\u201d, or los hombres emocionados<\/strong><\/em> to say \u201cthe excited men\u201d. Do you see how the endings need to change? It\u2019s just like other adjectives, but we just took it from the verb emocionar<\/em>. Now that you know this, you can practice with all of the verbs you\u2019re learning!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
