It is formed by conjugating the action verb to the past participle form, for most verbs this only requires the addition of an -ed or just a -d if the verb ends in an -e.

Then the auxilary verb have/has (the latter being used for singular pronouns and proper nouns; he/she/they).

(have/has+[verb]ed/d)
