The 'Poner' Pattern

This word is just the word 'poner' (to put) with the prefix 're-'. This means it changes its form exactly like 'poner' does. If you know 'yo pongo', you know 'yo repongo'!

Irregular Past Participle

Unlike most words that end in -er, the past version (used for 'I have...') isn't 'reponido'. It is 'repuesto'. Think of it like the English word 'put' staying similar.

Don't say 'reponido'

Mistake:He reponido la lámpara.

Correction: He repuesto la lámpara. (The word uses a special short form 'repuesto' instead of the regular ending).
