📚 Etymology

Comes from the Latin verb 'facere', which meant 'to do, make, or create'. Many Spanish words related to action and creation share this root. The 'f' in Latin often softened to an 'h' in Spanish over time.

First recorded: Evolved from Latin into Old Spanish around the 10th century.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'hacemos' for the present or the past?

'Hacemos' is always for the present tense ('we do' or 'we make'). For the past tense, you would use 'hicimos' ('we did' or 'we made') for a completed action, or 'hacíamos' ('we used to do/make') for a past routine.

Why is 'hacer' considered irregular?

It's irregular because it doesn't follow the standard pattern for '-er' verbs. For example, the 'yo' form is 'hago' (not 'haco'), and the stem changes in other tenses, like 'hice' in the past and 'haré' in the future. 'Hacemos' itself looks regular, but it's part of an irregular verb's family.
