Recall the formation of the past tense in verbs of the correct form. If the present tense ends in -ARE (PARLARE), then the elapsed time is formed by adding the ending to the root -ATO (PARLATO). If the verb ends with -ERE (VENDERE), then in the past tense it will look like: root plus ending -UTO (VENDUTO). Verbs whose indefinite form ends in -IRE (DORMIRE) past tense end on -ITO (DORMITO).
