Regular past participles
Most past participles are regular. The patterns for regular past participles are the following:
-ar verbs: simply drop the infinitive ending and replace it by -ado. -er verbs: drop the infinitive ending and replace it by -ido. -ir verbs: drop the infinitive ending and replace it by -ido.
hablar -- hablado (spoken) He hablado con tu madre. I have spoken to your mother.
comer -- comido (eaten) ¿Has comido galletas? Have you eaten some biscuits?
vivir -- vivido (lived) Hemos vivido en España durante 8 años. We have lived in Spain for 8 years.
Note: Most -er and -ir verbs with a vowel (not applies for verbs ending in -uir) immediately preceding the infinitive ending add an accent mark over the i of the past participle ending –ido (-ído)

¿Has traído un regalo? Have you brought a present? Han leído nuestra carta. They have read our letter.
