Using 'Besado' as a Verb
When used with 'haber' (like 'he', 'has', 'ha'), 'besado' never changes its ending, regardless of who did the kissing.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Don't change the ending with 'Haber'
Mistake: "Ellas han besadas."
Correction: Ellas han besado. When helping another verb, it always stays as 'besado'.

Keep it together
In Spanish, try not to put any words between 'haber' and 'besado'. Say 'He mucho besado' is wrong; say 'He besado mucho'.
