💡 Grammar Points
The Helping Verb Rule
When you use 'acordado' with 'haber' (like 'he acordado'), the ending 'o' never changes, even if a woman is speaking or you're talking about multiple people.
Stem Changes
While 'acordado' itself is regular, the base verb 'acordar' changes its 'o' to 'ue' in most present-tense forms (like 'yo acuerdo').
❌ Common Pitfalls
Agreed vs. Remembered
Mistake: "Using 'acordado' alone to mean 'I remembered'."
Correction: Say 'Me he acordado'. In Spanish, you must use the 'me' part to change the meaning from 'I agreed' to 'I remembered'.
