In this video you will learn estar + the past participle as an adjective in Spanish.
In Spanish just like in English we can use the verb "to be" plus the past participle as an adjective. The past participle of most verbs in English end in -ed, for example like=liked, dance=danced, but there are some that are irregular such as to go=gone, to write=written.

In Spanish, like in English, we have regular verbs and irregular verbs.
In Spanish adjectives must agree in both number (s/pl) and in gender (m/f)
Estar is as followed:
yo estoy
tú estás
él, ella, usted está
nosotros/as estamos
ellos, ellas, ustedes están
The past participle as adjective of regular verbs are below.
-ar=ado, ada, ados, adas
-er/-ir=ido, ida, idos, idas
