grammatical ending for verbs express in the past tense

Question

aprender - to learn aprendido - learned

The question I have is about adding "ido" to the root of spanish verb- does this function like adding "ed" to an english verb placing that verb in the past tense

Answer 1

It is the past participle of the verb. In Spanish may be -ado ( for infinitives ending in -ar) and -ido endings ( for -er and -ir infinitives)

Ex.

I have learned - He aprendido
You have seen - Has visto
He has eaten - Ha comido
I have loved - He amado
We have stopped - Hemos parado

Answer 2

Hi Benz
I think you should have mentioned the "ado" and "ido" are for "regular" verbs. Some irregular verbs have irregular past participles, just like the one you gave with "ver" ie "visto"

Romper - To break
Roto - Broken

Answer 5

Sure Eddy... I agree , but Spanish grammar takes more than a post (irregular verbs, exceptions, etc.) I tried to give him some examples to help him understand a little better.
