Past Participles

USED AS ADJECTIVES

In Level 1 & 2 you learned about:
PRESENT PARTICIPLES (-ing equivalent)

estudiar = estudiando.
Present Progressive> estoy estudiando =
I am studying

(-ando / -iendo / -yendo ending verbs
used after ESTAR in the present progressive tense)

Both Spanish & English have PAST PARTICIPLES.

English past participles often end in -ed
to turn= turned

But many are also irregular
to buy= bought
to drive= driven

In Spanish,

Regular -ar verbs form the past participle with:
-ado

INFINITIVE

STEM

PAST

Bailar

Bail-

Bailado

In Spanish,

Regular -er & -ir verbs form the past participle with:
-ido

INFINITIVE

STEM

PAST
PARTICIPLE

Comer

Com-

Comido

Vivir

Vivido

The past participles of -er & -ir verbs whose stems end in -a, -e, or -o carry a WRITTEN ACCENT on the "i" of the -ido ending!!!

caer	caído	reír	reído
creer	creído	sonreír	sonreído
leer	leído	traer	traído
oír	oído

Irregular Past Participles

abrir	abierto	morir	muerto
decir	dicho	poner	puesto
describir	descrito	resolver	resuelto
descubrir	descubierto	romper	roto
escribir	escrito	ver	visto
hacer	hecho	volver	vuelto

In Spanish, as in English, past participles can be used as adjectives.

They are often used with ESTAR to describe a CONDITION or STATE that results from an ACTION.

Remember the Acronym PLACE!

Like other Spanish adjectives, they must agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify.

Ejemplos:

Los poemas ya están escritos.

The poems are already written.

La mesa está puesta y la cena está hecha.

The table is set and dinner is made.
