Hidden among the drama is a look at how to use past participles of the verbs Salir (to leave, to stick out), Creer (to believe), Despistar (to disorient or get lost), Amargar (to become/make bitter), and Exagerar (to exaggerate).

Thanks to Kevin Macleod for the music in today’s lesson.
In this installment, we see how the past participle can be used to describe things and people. Does anyone out there want to explain how to form the past participle for regular verbs?
Sunday at 1:18 am
The grammar bank in the learning center provides an excellent explanation of forming the past participle for regular verbs. First, we must conjugate the verb “haber” (to have) to agree with the the subject of the the verb that follows. That is to say, we conjugate “haber” (to have) to get the meaning “I have, you have, he has, we have, they have, or you all have”.
The second part of this compound tense is the past participle of the verb being carried out. In English, we often see -ED- or -EN- endings on most verbs in this tense, although there are some exceptions.
Some examples include…
yo he comido (I have eaten)
tú has trabajado (you have worked)
ella ha estudiado (she has studied)
nosotros hemos celebrado (we have celebrated)
ellos han aprendido (they have learned)
ustedes han perdido (you all have lost)
