Most regular and some irregular Spanish verbs conjugate the past participle by dropping the infinitive ending to find the stem, then adding the past participle ending for that type of verb:

Por ejemplo…

  -ar verbs -er verbs -ire verbs
hablar
(to speak)
comer
(to eat)
salir
(to go out)
stem habl- com- sal-
ending -ado -ido -ido
past participle hablado comido salido

 When the stem ends in a vowel, the ending is –ído with an accent on the i.
