💡 Grammar Points
Agreement is Key
As an adjective, 'reunido' must change its ending to match the thing it describes. Use 'reunida' for feminine singular nouns (la gente reunida) and 'reunidos' or 'reunidas' for plural nouns.
⭐ Usage Tips
State vs. Action
Use 'estar reunido' to talk about the current state or result of the action (They are together). Use the verb 'reunir' itself to talk about the action of getting together (They will gather).
As a past participle, reunido is used with 'haber' to describe things that have been 'gathered' or collected.

💡 Grammar Points
Building Perfect Tenses
'Reunido' is the form you use after the helper verb 'haber' (to have) to describe actions completed in the past, like 'He reunido' (I have gathered) or 'Habíamos reunido' (We had gathered).
The Participle Rule
When used with 'haber' to create compound tenses, 'reunido' never changes its ending; it always stays in the masculine singular form, regardless of who or what gathered the things.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Changing the Ending
Mistake: "Hemos reunidas las cosas. (Incorrect: ending changes)"
Correction: Hemos reunido las cosas. (Correct: 'reunido' doesn't change when used with 'haber').

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 'reunido' and 'junto'?
'Reunido' (gathered/assembled) specifically implies that people or things have come together, often for a specific purpose (like a meeting or a family gathering). 'Junto' simply means 'together' or 'nearby' and is a broader term for proximity.
Is 'reunido' regular or irregular?
The base verb 'reunir' is mostly regular, but it has a slight change in the present tense (a vowel change, like 'reúno') in some forms. However, the past participle 'reunido' is perfectly regular, following the standard pattern for -ir verbs.
