Using 'Ser'

Since 'destrozado' is acting like a descriptive word (adjective), it must match the thing it describes in gender and number. For example: 'la pared destrozada' (the destroyed wall) or 'los coches destrozados' (the destroyed cars).

It Must Match

Very common when describing objects, buildings, or vehicles that are severely damaged, ruined, or broken into many pieces.

When used for emotions, 'destrozado' indicates a level of sadness or disappointment far deeper than 'triste' (sad). It suggests being emotionally broken.

Emotional Intensity

Commonly used figuratively to describe a person suffering deep emotional pain or extreme physical exhaustion.

Because the base verb 'destrozar' ends in -zar, the 'z' changes to 'c' when followed by the letter 'e' (like in the Preterite 'yo' form: 'destrocé', or the Present Subjunctive: 'destroce'). This keeps the correct sound.
