While most past participles end in **-ado** or **-ido**, some of the most common verbs in Spanish have irregular past participles. 

### Common irregular past participles

Here are the irregular forms you will use most often:

| Infinitive | Past Participle | English |
|---|---|---|
| **abrir** (to open) | **abierto** | opened / open |
| **decir** (to say/tell) | **dicho** | said / told |
| **escribir** (to write) | **escrito** | written |
| **hacer** (to do/make) | **hecho** | done / made |
| **poner** (to put) | **puesto** | put |
| **romper** (to break) | **roto** | broken |
| **ver** (to see) | **visto** | seen |
| **volver** (to return) | **vuelto** | returned |

### Using them with "haber"

You will frequently use these irregular forms with the helping verb **haber** (to have). When a past participle is used with **haber**, its ending is locked to **-o**; it does *not* change to match gender or number.

### Using them as adjectives

Just like regular past participles, these irregular forms can also be used as adjectives to describe the current state of a noun. When used this way, they *must* change their endings (**-o**, **-a**, **-os**, **-as**) to match the noun they describe.

{{item:778045}}

Notice how *abierta* ends in **-a** to match the feminine noun *la ventana*, while *roto* ends in **-o** to match the masculine noun *el cristal*.
