💡 Tip for English speakers Very close to English "have + past participle". The participio NEVER changes — only HABER is conjugated.
Nothing goes between haber and the participio (no pronouns, no adverbs). NEVER insert anything between haber and the participio: ✓ No he comido · ✗ *He no comido.
The participio is invariable — it never agrees in gender or number.
