So how to create the Past Participle for verbs in the present perfect tense?

Anytime we have to say the following sentene in Spanish we need to convert the infinitve verb to its past participle form:

I have eaten here before

You have read my other Present perfect tense/past particple posting so you know that how to conjugate 'have' but what about 'eaten'?

Well, it boils down to this: Regular vs irregular verbs

Regular verbs follow the next rules:
1. remove the verb ending (ar, er or ir) and replace it with -ado or -ido: -ar ending verbs use ado and -er or -ir ending verbs use -ido

2. Example: Cantar converts to cantado, comer to comido and recibir to recibido

So if you want so say 'I have eaten here before' it would translate to 'yo he comido aqui antes'

Irregular verbs:
sorry, most irregular verbs have no specific conjugational process, you just have to learn them, for instance
hacer   hecho
abrir    abierto
escribir  escrito

I hope this helps

SPANISH GRAMMAR: POR vs. PARA

Spanish Prepositions List

Here is a list of commonly used Spanish prepositions.

a ante bajo con contra de desde en entre hacia hasta para por sin tras

to; at before under with against from; of from in; on between towards until for for without after

Demonstrative Pronouns

Demonstrative pronouns are used to show the location of the noun(s) they replace. They are the equivalent to "this one", "these", "that one", & "those". In Spanish they must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify.

There are 3 categories of demonstrative pronouns in Spanish that relate to the distance of the noun being spoken about from the speaker.

Group 1. Noun is near the speaker
Group 2. Noun is near the person being spoken to
Group 3. Noun is far from both the speaker and the person being spoken to

Group #1 (Noun is near speaker)

masculine singular	feminine singular		masculine plural	feminine plural
éste	ésta		éstos	éstas

éste (libro) éstos (libros)

this one (book) these (books)

Group #2 (Noun is near person being spoken to)

masculine singular	feminine singular		masculine plural	feminine plural
ése	ésa		ésos	ésas

ése (libro) ésos (libros)

this one (book) these (books)

Group #3 (Noun is far from speaker and person being spoken to)

masculine singular	feminine singular		masculine plural	feminine plural
aquél	aquélla		aquéllos	aquéllas

aquél (edificio) aquéllos (edificios)

this one (book) these (books)

Indirect Object Pronouns

I.  Here are the forms for the indirect object pronoun in Spanish. Notice how the forms for the first and second persons are the exact same as the forms for the direct object pronouns. Remember that indirect object pronouns answer the questions "To whom?", "For whom?", "To what?", and "For what?".

	singular	plural
first person	me	nos
second person	te	os
third person	le	les

 

II.  Indirect object pronouns in Spanish are placed before the conjugated verb, and also before the direct object pronoun (if the sentence has both a direct object and indirect object pronoun).

Antonio me da un regalo. Antonio nos (I.O.) las (D.O.) compra.

Antonio is giving me a gift. Antonio buys them for us.
