Wrong: To je knjiga napisan.
Correct: To je knjiga napisana.

Confusing the participle 'odprt' (adjective) with the past tense verb 'odprl'. Participles describe the state, not the past action itself.

Gender mismatch. Miza is feminine, so it requires the -a ending.

Wrong: Miza je narejen iz lesa.
