Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 'convencido' and 'convincente'?

'Convencido' describes the *state* of being sure (I am convinced). 'Convincente' describes something that *causes* certainty (The argument was convincing).

Does 'convencido' ever change its ending when used with 'haber'?

No. When used with the helper verb 'haber' to form compound tenses (like 'he convencido'), the past participle always stays in the masculine singular form: 'convencido.' It only changes the ending (-a, -os, -as) when it acts as a standalone adjective.
