In Spanish, there are 2 types of past participles that you will learn: Regular and Irregular.

Regular Spanish verbs that are conjugated follow a similar scheme when formed. However, Spanish irregular past participles are slightly different. (Read more about irregular present participles on a previous post here).

Below, I will be reviewing for you some common Spanish irregular past participles that are used often in conversation.

Infinitive:                                                     Past Participles:            

abrir – to open                                                 abierto (opened)
