Review Summary

  • -are -> -ato; -ere -> -uto; -ire -> -ito
  • Avere (present) + Past Participle
  • Participle + (a/e/i) if object precedes

常见错误

You used the present tense instead of the past participle. Always ensure you add the -ato suffix.

Wrong: Io ho parlo.
正确: Io ho parlato.

With 'avere', the participle usually doesn't change unless the direct object pronoun comes before it. Keep it neutral!

Wrong: Lui ha mangiata.
正确: Lui ha mangiato.

You used the infinitive. Remember that irregular verbs like 'scrivere' have unique past participles.

Wrong: Ho scrivere.
正确: Ho scritto.
