T versus en? Ich habe Fußball gespielt. Gespielt ends in T. I believe I said “I played Fußball.” Why does gespielt end in T and not EN? Ich habe Briefe geschrieben. Geschrieben ends in EN. I believe I said “I wrote a letter.” Why does geschrieben end in EN not a T? How do you know when to end it in a T or an EN? Thanks.

The "t" endings are regular verbs and the "en" are irregular. You simply have to memorize the irregular verbs, there's no rule.
