hecha

Hecha is the feminine singular past participle of the Spanish verb hacer, meaning to make or to do. It functions as an adjective or as part of compound verb forms, indicating that something has been made or completed. As with other participles, its ending agrees with the noun it modifies: hecho (masculine singular), hecha (feminine singular), hechos (masculine plural), hechas (feminine plural). Common uses include expressions like tarea hecha (task completed) and la comida está hecha (the meal is ready).

In everyday usage, hecha often appears in conjunction with estar to describe a finished state, as in La tarea está hecha. It can also occur in adjectival expressions where the participle describes a noun directly. In periphrastic constructions with haber, the participle typically remains in its masculine form unless it is preceded by a feminine or plural direct object, in which case it may agree: La tarea ya hecha vs. La tarea ya hecha.

An enduring idiom that uses the feminine form is hehca la ley, hecha la trampa, a proverb describing how rules can be circumvented once they are established. This proverb highlights a common rhetorical use of the participle within proverbial or fixed expressions.

Overall, hecha is a standard form in Spanish grammar, representing the feminine agreement of the past participle of hacer and functioning across a range of descriptive and compound-verb contexts.
