It's "haber" + the participle form of a verb. It's called the "present perfect" or "past perfect" in English. Basically, it translates out to "have/had _____", as in "I have eaten" or "I had left", etc., etc..

You have to conjugate "haber", based on who is the subject:

Present tense:

First person "I" = he
Second person "you" = has
Third person singular "he/she/it" = ha
First person plural "we" = hemos
Third person plural "they" = han

Past tense (uses imperfect form, not past tense):

First person "I" = habia
Second person "you" = habias
Third person singular "he/she/it" = habia
First person plural "we" = habiamos
Third person plural "they" = habian

To form the participle form, the general rule is to add "ado" to the stem form of any -AR verb, and "ido" to the stem form of any -ER or -IR verb. So, for example, "comer" becomes "comido", and "hablar" is "hablado". But there are irregular forms in lots of cases, like "abierto" ("abrir"), "puesto" ("poner"), "dicho" ("decir"), etc., etc.. You'll just have to memorize those.

So here are some examples:

Have you eaten yet?

Ya has comido?

I have went to the store.

Yo he ido al mercado.

I had given him the book.

Yo le habia dado el libro.

And so on. Hope that helps!

hi how are you? i don't understand your question Are you asking if we , spanish audio gadget, use the participio pasado rather for adjectives? if that' what you're asking, the respond is , no... it is not achievable participio pasado is a verb in some variety of previous verb case in point leer- leido caer- caido now, adjectives describe persons or issues, etc i ought to assert he leido un libro yet that sentence would not have any adjective now if i say he leido un gran libro the sentence could have an adjectve yet that's as a results of fact i further an adjective, the previous participle would not replace any adjective. that's like in english in english you're saying I even have finished my homework such sentence would not have any adjective, it has a prior participle verb, however the previous participle verb does no longer mean the presence of an adjective. take care.
