I've Done It, I've Seen It, I've Taken It

This lesson keeps building the perfect tense and combines it with object pronouns. It also reinforces how usted uses the he/she verb form and ustedes uses the they form.

Key notes

Past participles usually end in -ado after -ar verbs and -ido after -er/-ir verbs.
Object pronouns stay before the conjugated part of the perfect tense: lo he terminado, not he terminarlo.
Usted uses the same verb form as él/ella; ustedes uses the same form as ellos/ellas.
