The 'Perfect Tense' Helper
When 'recorrido' is used with the verb 'haber' (like 'hemos recorrido'), it helps form the perfect tenses, which describe actions completed in the past. In these cases, it never changes its ending.
Acting Like an Adjective
When 'recorrido' describes a noun (like 'la calle recorrida'), it must agree in gender and number: 'recorrida' (f. singular), 'recorridos' (m. plural), 'recorridas' (f. plural).
Mixing Adjective and Verb Use
Mistake: “La distancia ha sido recorrida por nosotros.”
Correction: La distancia ha sido recorrida por nosotros. (Mistake is only confusing the rule: 'recorrida' must agree with 'distancia' when used in the passive voice or as a true adjective.)
