How to Say "delivered" in Spanish
The most common Spanish word for “delivered” is “entregado” — use this when 'delivered' describes the state of a package, mail, or other item that has arrived or been brought to its destination.
entregado
en-treh-GAH-dohen.tɾeˈɣa.ðo
Examples
El paquete fue entregado ayer por la mañana.
The package was delivered yesterday morning.
¿Ya están entregados los informes?
Are the reports already handed in?

Past Participle Use
'Entregado' is the past participle of the verb 'entregar' (to deliver). It is used with 'haber' (to have) to form perfect tenses (e.g., 'He entregado el libro' - I have delivered the book) or with 'ser' or 'estar' to describe a state ('El libro está entregado' - The book is delivered).
Confusing Past and Present
Mistake: “El paquete es entregar.”
Correction: El paquete *fue* entregado. (Use the past participle form 'entregado' to show the action is completed.)
entregó
en-treh-GOHen.treˈɡo
Examples
El repartidor entregó mi pedido hace una hora.
The delivery person delivered my order an hour ago.
Ella le entregó las llaves de la casa al vecino.
She handed the house keys over to the neighbor.
The Simple Past Tense
'Entregó' is used to describe an action that started and finished completely in the past, like a single event or a transaction.
Spelling Change in 'Yo'
Mistake: “Writing 'yo entregé' in the past tense.”
Correction: To keep the hard 'g' sound, the 'yo' form changes spelling to 'entregué'. The 'él/ella/usted' form ('entregó') stays regular.
dada
DAH-dahˈda.ða
Examples
La carta dada a María contenía buenas noticias.
The letter given to María contained good news.
La orden dada por el jefe fue muy clara.
The order given by the boss was very clear.
Past Participle of 'Dar'
'Dada' is the feminine singular form of the past participle of the verb 'dar' (to give). Like other past participles used as adjectives, it must agree in gender and number with the noun it describes.
Mixing up participles
Mistake: “La información dado.”
Correction: Since *información* is feminine, you must use the feminine form: 'La información dada'.
pronunciado
pro-noon-SYAH-dohpɾonunˈθjaðo
Examples
He pronunciado mal tu nombre, lo siento.
I have pronounced your name wrong, I'm sorry.
El juez ha pronunciado la sentencia.
The judge has delivered the sentence.
Ninguna palabra fue pronunciada durante la cena.
Not a single word was spoken during the dinner.
The 'Haber' Rule
When you use 'pronunciado' with the verb 'haber' (to have) to say things like 'I have spoken', the word never changes its ending. It is always 'pronunciado'.
Confusion with 'decir'
Mistake: “He pronunciado que no.”
Correction: He dicho que no.
