Matching the Gender

Since this word describes a thing, its ending must match. Use 'ejecutado' for masculine items (like 'el plan') and 'ejecutada' for feminine ones (like 'la tarea').

Using with 'Ser' vs 'Haber'

When you use 'ser' (to be) before it, you are describing the state of a task. When you use 'haber' (to have), you are saying that someone has finished an action.

Forgetting the 'A' for Feminine Words

Mistake:La obra fue ejecutado.

Correction: La obra fue ejecutada. (Because 'obra' is feminine, the description needs to end in 'a' too.)
