The '-amos' ending immediately tells the listener that the person doing the action is 'we' (nosotros/as), making the subject pronoun unnecessary unless emphasized.

Identifying the Speaker

The verb 'llegar' nearly always needs the preposition 'a' when describing the destination: 'Llegamos a la ciudad' (We arrive at the city).

Use with 'a'

Extremely common. Used to talk about what 'we' are doing now, habitually, or very soon.

Incorrect Preterite 'Yo' Form

Since 'llegamos' is used for both 'we arrive' (present) and 'we arrived' (past), context is key. Look for past time words like 'ayer' (yesterday), 'la semana pasada' (last week), or 'en ese momento' (at that moment).

Tense Identification

Extremely common. Used to talk about a single completed action in the past.

'Llegamos' is the 'we' form of the verb 'llegar' (to arrive). It uniquely functions as both the present tense ('we arrive') and the simple past tense ('we arrived'). Learn conjugations, examples, and usage tips for this essential Spanish verb form.
