IWhat to watch for

The participle of sentir is sentido, with no trace of the stem changes that produce siento and sintió. So the perfect is simply he sentido, has sentido, ha sentido — one of the easiest parts of this verb.

Note that sentido is also a noun (sense, meaning), which is why context matters: he sentido un ruido is I heard a noise, but no tiene sentido is it makes no sense. And lo he sentido mucho is the standard way to express condolences — literally I have felt it a lot.
