The 'Finished' Form
Explicado is a past participle. Think of it as the 'done' version of the action 'explicar' (to explain).
Using it with 'Haber'
When you use this word after 'haber' (to have), it always ends in -o, no matter who did the action. For example: 'Ellas han explicado' (They have explained).
Changing the ending with 'Haber'
Mistake: “Saying 'Ellas han explicadas'.”
Correction: Always use 'explicado' after the helping verb 'haber'. Only change it to 'explicada' or 'explicados' if you are using it as a simple description (adjective) without 'haber'.
