I add where it's needed, but it sounds like it's just there to make it pretty.
Just like 儿
Basically, to say something has already been completed. A marker for past tense-ish things. E.g. I read that book, I took that test, etc.
The "r" is usually a completely optional particle for sound purposes. People seem to think it sounds better. There could be more to it, but that's what I know/have heard.
