![]() If you think that the names that are given to the normal tenses are difficult to understand or remember, then when we get to the verb HABER in Spanish, we realise that the linguists had just been warming up. Therefore “HABÍA” means “there was/there were”. ![]() However, this isn’t correct because, just as the word, “HAY” refers to one or multiple things, the same applies to this word when it is in the past. However, the confusion sets in when they want to say “There were”. For example, when they want to say, “There was” they use, “HABÍA”. For example, one of the confusions that many students have is when they use this word in the past. HAY is a strange word because it can relate to one thing or to multiple things and yet it’s structure doesn’t change. This word means “there is/there are” and you probably would agree that it is something that we use in most conversation. The very famous word “HAY” comes directly from the verb HABER. The word, “HAVE” is the auxiliary part, which is from HABER in Spanish, and “EATEN” is the past participle of the verb TO EAT.Īs you will see in the podcast, we explain that Haber in Spanish appears in multiple types of conversation. It works with other verbs to create sentences like, “I have eaten today”. This simply means that this verb is a “helper” verb. This verb is probably one of the most important verbs in the Spanish language! Why? Because, it has a specific job to do in just about every tense that exists in Spanish.įirstly, you will have seen this verb mentioned in all of your textbooks in which they call it the “auxiliary verb”.
