How do you spell the past tensed of hurt in spanish?

Answer 1

It depends on the kind of 'hurt' (physical, emotional), who was hurting/being hurt, and what kind of 'past' (simple, imperfect, etc.).

danar (with a tilde, the little wave, on the 'n') = to hurt, damage

herir = to hurt, wound

apenar a = to hurt the feelings of

(me) duele (la cabeza) = (my) (head) hurts, i.e. I have a headache

Broadly speaking, the 3rd person (he/she/you formal) of verbs (e.g. danar) in the preterite (past) tense ends in an accented 'o' (dano, with an accent); but 'herir' becomes 'hiro'; and the I/we/they, and various 'you' forms also take different endings.

There is also a past construction 'haber' (to have) + past participle (danado, herido), but again, haber changes per person: I have = he; you have = has, etc.

You need to be more specific!
