💡 Grammar Points

The 'Let's' Command

To say 'Let's (do something)' in Spanish, you use 'hagamos.' This is the special command form (imperative) for 'we' and is identical to the present subjunctive form.

The Subjunctive Requirement

'Hagamos' is necessary when expressing wishes, doubts, or desires involving a group, especially after phrases like 'Es importante que...' (It's important that...).

❌ Common Pitfalls

Confusing 'Hagamos' with the present tense

Mistake: "Using 'Hacemos' when proposing an action (e.g., Hacemos una fiesta)."

Correction: Use 'Hagamos' instead. 'Hacemos' (we do) describes what you *are* doing; 'Hagamos' (let's do) proposes what you *should* do.

⭐ Usage Tips

Making Suggestions

When proposing an action to friends or colleagues, starting your sentence with '¡Hagamos...!' is the most direct and natural way to suggest an action.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 'hacer' (to do) conjugated as 'hagamos'?

The verb 'hacer' is highly irregular. Its present subjunctive forms (haga, hagamos, hagan) draw from a different, older root to express wishes and commands, resulting in the added 'g' sound.

If I want to say 'We are doing,' should I use 'hagamos'?

No. If you want to state a current fact ('We are doing'), you use the indicative form: 'Hacemos.' 'Hagamos' is reserved for commands, suggestions ('Let's do'), or after verbs expressing desire or necessity.
