💡 Grammar Points
Using the Accent Mark
The accent on the 'ó' tells you this happened in the past. Without it, the word wouldn't be a standard form of the verb.
Who is doing the action?
This specific form 'unió' is only used for one person (he, she, or 'you' formal) or one thing (it).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Don't forget the accent
Mistake: "Escribir 'unio' sin acento."
Correction: Always use 'unió' for the past tense. In Spanish, that little mark on the 'o' is vital for the correct tense and pronunciation.
⭐ Usage Tips
The 'Completed Action' Feel
Use 'unió' when the joining is a finished event, like a bridge being completed or a couple getting married.
