| Aug 18, 2016 at 19:55 | comment | added | Yay | @dockeryZ But tiene rojos los ojos de tanto llorar sounds alright to me. The reason why tiene rojo un auto is wrong is that tiene in tiene un auto rojo doesn't tell you anything about the state of the car. If rojo were used metaphorically to express it is really hot after driving it for a long time under the sun, I think tiene rojo el coche would be okay. | |

Tiene rojo un auto is wrong because rojo is not a past participle, that's why.

| Aug 17, 2016 at 22:34 | comment | added | Yay | I don't think "Tiene casada una hija" is the same as "tiene una hija casada", although the difference is really subtle. "Tiene casada una hija" means that one of his daughters is married, while "tiene una hija casada" means he has a daughter who is married. I feel the second sentence would usually (but not necessarily) imply there's only one daughter, while the first one would sound more natural if there is more than one daughter, but only one of them is married. | |

| Aug 17, 2016 at 19:45 | comment | added | Maurocrispin | Honestly I am no pretty sure.... But notice that order can change and be correct at the same time, only when you are using a past participle as adjetive. Roto and Ponchado are past participle adjetives, in the other hand rojo is a non past participle adjetive. It may have something to do with the fact that "Tener + past participle" is often used in other grammatical constructions. Look at "tener" section of this web fis.ucalgary.ca/AVal/505/AGPerifrasisTerminativas.html | |
