I believe you are discussing forming the past participle from a verb infinitive.

hablar=to speak

hablado=spoken

comer=to eat

comido=eaten

Realize that there are many irregular past participles (e.g. escribir-escrito) that do not use ido or ado.

Besides forming the perfect tenses, the past participle is commonly used as an adjective.

Hi, Jamal. Welcome to the forum.

This is from the reference section....

A past participle (el participio) is a very useful form of a verb which can function as an adjective or as a verb in conjunction with haber to form the perfect tenses. Past Participles

To form the past participle of regular verbs, drop the infinitive ending (-ar, -er, -ir) and add -ado to the stem of -ar verbs and -ido to the stem of -er and -ir verbs. This is equivalent to adding -ed to many verbs in English.

Take a look at this lesson to see the irregular verbs like "abrir = abierto."
