The first chart is that of three different words for the infinitive (in this case base form), the simple past and the past participle are different, the last form always ends in the suffix -en:

Spanish	Infinitive	Simple past	Past participle
Ser, estar	Be	Was/were	Been
Romper	Break	Broke	Broken
Elegir	Choose	Chose	Chosen
Hablar	Speak	Spoke	Spoken

Crecer	Grow	Grew	Grown
Saber	Know	Knew	Known
