Answer 2

Hi NatureGreen, welcome to the forum . You can find this out easily by typing the word into the "translate" box at the top of the screen. Or, you can highlight the word and the short translation appears, like this "penetraban=penetrated".

Best of all, you don´t even need to know the infinitive.
