How to Say "denounced" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “denounced” is “acusado” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
Ellos han acusado al político de corrupción.
They have accused the politician of corruption.
La carta fue acusada de recibo esta mañana.
The letter was acknowledged (accused) upon receipt this morning.
Forming Perfect Tenses
The past participle 'acusado' is the key building block that combines with forms of 'haber' (to have) to create perfect tenses, showing an action completed in the past: 'Hemos acusado' (We have accused).
Passive Voice
When used with 'ser' or 'estar,' 'acusado' acts like an adjective to describe a state or a passive action: 'El sospechoso fue acusado' (The suspect was accused).
Using the Participle Alone
Mistake: “'Yo acusado' (I accused).”
Correction: You must use an auxiliary verb to make sense. For past action, say 'Yo he acusado' (I have accused). For a description, say 'Yo soy acusado' (I am accused).
