Crushing irregular past participles

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

What this cheat sheet is about

In this easy-t­o-read cheat sheet you are going to find some (and the list will be update­d...) of the most used IRREGULAR past partic­iples in the Italian language.
The purpose is to provide a quick reference, hoping that the ease of consul­tation will also help retain in the memory the "­app­arently sensel­ess­" exceptions in the constr­uction of the past partic­iples.
The different chart also indicates whether the specific verb is going to have AVERE or ESSERE in the passato prossimo. Also in this case I hope that this quick reference will help your memory.
I really hope you will find it of great use! Keep up the good learning of Italian!
