💡 Grammar Points
How to Use Past Participles
'Registrado' is the part of the verb that never changes when you use it with the helping verb 'haber' to talk about completed actions: 'He registrado', 'Hemos registrado', 'Han registrado'. It always stays 'registrado' (or 'registrada', etc., if used as a standalone adjective).
The Passive Voice
You use 'registrado' with the verb 'ser' (to be) to show that someone or something received the action (the passive voice): 'El evento fue registrado por la cámara' (The event was recorded by the camera).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing Verb Forms
Mistake: "Using the base verb 'registrar' instead of the past participle with 'haber'. Example: *Hemos registrar*"
Correction: Always use 'registrado' after 'haber' to form perfect tenses. Correct: 'Hemos registrado la entrada'.
⭐ Usage Tips
Key Contexts
Think of 'registrar' and 'registrado' when dealing with official records, checking into a place (like a hotel), or recording data.
