Forming Perfect Tenses
'Colgado' is the 'action' part used with the helping verb 'haber' (to have) to describe actions completed in the past, like 'He colgado' (I have hung).
Past Participle Rule
Unlike when it acts as an adjective, when 'colgado' is used with 'haber' to form a compound tense, it never changes its ending (it always stays 'colgado').
Changing the Ending with Haber
Mistake: “Using 'Hemos colgadas las luces.'”
Correction: The correct form is 'Hemos colgado las luces.' The past participle only changes its ending when used as an adjective with 'ser' or 'estar'.
