To eat is an irregular verb in the past participle which when combined with a helping verb (has, have, or had) completely departs from the normal conjugation and does something weird. Many other languages have these kinds of words as well.

If the past tense of the verb is not simply the addition of -ed the verb is going to be irregular. (For example "eated" would not be the correct past tense so the past participle is probably going to be something weird, too).
