Usage Note
Escribir is irregular only in its past participle: escrito (not escribido). This makes it an essential irregular participle to memorise. The compound verb describir follows the same pattern: descrito. Escribir a mano means 'to write by hand'; escribir a máquina/ordenador means 'to type'.
Examples
"Escribe una carta a sus abuelos cada semana."
Natural Translation
She writes a letter to her grandparents every week.
