¿Conoces esta expresión?

¡Lo pasado, pisado!

This New Year, there’s a Spanish saying that is very common in Latin America that fits perfectly: Lo pasado, pisado. It means What’s done is done, leave it behind. Keep what you learned, drop what weighs you down and step into the New Year lighter.

So whatever 2025 brought you, take a breath and say it with me:

¡Lo pasado, pisado!
What’s done is done!

Here’s to a brighter, calmer 2026. ✨

And what better way to celebrate this useful expression than by practicing the simple past tense? Here’s a shared notebook with all our lessons on these specific verbs. They have irregular stems, but they all share the same endings:
