Past Participles
The -ed Verbs used as Adjectives
Essential Grammar #106
Definition
In both Spanish and English, past
participles are quite handy to use.
Not only can they be used as parts of
verbs (and not just for speaking
about the past), they can also be
used to create adjectives.
¿Cómo se forma?
In English, the past participle
for regular verbs is formed by
adding "-ed" to the end.
 When past participles are used
as adjectives, they agree in
number and gender with the
noun they modify.
How to make the past participle
The past participle for regular verbs is
formed by…
 adding -ado to the stem of -ar verbs;
 adding -ido to the stem of –er, -ir verbs.
* When –ido, is preceded by a vowel (other
than u) add an accent to –ído.
Ejemplos: creer > creído
caer > caído
oír > oído
leer > leído
PERO construir > construído
Regular Past Participles
They have different uses:
1. When used with the
conjugated form of the verb
Haber, past participles do not
show agreement! (It is the
Perfect tense and it is part of a
verb phrase!)
2. When used with passive
voice, past participles show
agreement with subject.
Ejemplos: Tú ya has comido
el almuerzo, ¿verdad?
(You already have eaten lunch,
right?)
