How to Say "talked" in Spanish

The 'Done' Form of 'Hablar'
Think of 'hablado' as the '-ed' or '-en' form of 'to speak' in English (like 'talked' or 'spoken'). It teams up with the verb 'haber' to form tenses that describe completed actions, like 'I have spoken' (He hablado).
It Never Changes Here
When used with 'haber' to form a tense, 'hablado' always stays the same. It doesn't matter who is speaking; it's always 'hablado'. For example: 'Yo he hablado', 'Ella ha hablado', 'Ellos han hablado'.
Mixing it up with the Preterite
Mistake: “Yo hablado con él ayer.”
Correction: Yo hablé con él ayer. OR Yo he hablado con él hoy. 'Hablado' needs a helper verb like 'he', 'has', 'ha', etc. to work.
