Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 'notado' and 'nota'?
'Notado' is the form of the verb 'notar' (to notice), while 'nota' is a noun meaning 'note,' 'grade,' or 'mark.' They share the same root, but one describes an action (noticed) and the other describes a thing (a note).
When does 'notado' change its ending?
It changes its ending (to -a, -os, or -as) only when it is acting as an adjective (e.g., 'El cambio notado'). When it is used with the verb 'haber' to form perfect tenses (e.g., 'He notado'), the ending is always 'notado' and never changes.
