Building Perfect Tenses
'Reunido' is the form you use after the helper verb 'haber' (to have) to describe actions completed in the past, like 'He reunido' (I have gathered) or 'Habíamos reunido' (We had gathered).
The Participle Rule
When used with 'haber' to create compound tenses, 'reunido' never changes its ending; it always stays in the masculine singular form, regardless of who or what gathered the things.
Changing the Ending
Mistake: “Hemos reunidas las cosas. (Incorrect: ending changes)”
Correction: Hemos reunido las cosas. (Correct: 'reunido' doesn't change when used with 'haber').
