Matching the Noun
Because this is the feminine form, you only use 'pintada' with feminine words like 'casa', 'mesa', or 'mujer'. For masculine words, use 'pintado'.
State vs. Action
When used with 'estar', it describes the state (The wall is painted). When used with 'ser', it is part of a passive action (The wall was painted by him).
The 'A' Ending
Mistake: “Saying 'el carro pintada'.”
Correction: You must match the gender. Since 'carro' is male, use 'pintado'. Use 'pintada' for things like 'la bicicleta'.
