Pintado or Pintada?

Pintado or Pintada?

4

If I want to say "the hand that has been painted", do I say "la mano que ha sido pintada?"

I assumed that the participle for pintar would be feminine because la mano is feminine, but I wanted to make sure sure that it shouldn't be "pintado" instead (I know that the participle directly after the auxiliary verb is always singular and masculine, but this seems a little tricker for me because there are two participles here).

Thank you!!!

elefantita:

"La mano que ha sido pintada" is correct. Yes, "mano"is feminine, "pintada" should be as well.

I hope this helps.
