💡 Grammar Points
Forming Perfect Tenses
'Considerado' is the form you use after the verb 'haber' (to have) to describe actions completed in the past, like 'he considerado' (I have considered).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Mixing Participle Agreement
Mistake: "La hemos considerada."
Correction: La hemos considerado. When using 'haber' to form perfect tenses, the participle 'considerado' never changes its ending, even if the person or thing you are talking about is feminine or plural.
⭐ Usage Tips
Regular -AR Pattern
The verb 'considerar' is perfectly regular. To make its past participle, you simply drop the '-ar' and add '-ado'. This is a very common pattern!
