💡 Grammar Points
Two Times for One Word
In Spanish, the 'we' form for verbs ending in -ar is exactly the same for both the present ('we look') and the past ('we looked'). You have to use the rest of the sentence to know which one it is!
❌ Common Pitfalls
Adding 'at'
Mistake: "Miramos a el cuadro."
Correction: Miramos el cuadro. You don't need to add a word for 'at' after 'mirar' when looking at objects.
⭐ Usage Tips
Mirar vs. Ver
Use 'miramos' when you are intentionally directing your eyes toward something (like a painting). Use 'vemos' for things you just happen to see or perceive.
We looked at the beautiful painting together.
miramos(verb)

?a finished action in the past

📝 In Action

A2Yesterday we looked at the photo album.
💡 Grammar Points
Spotting the Past
Since 'miramos' looks like the present, look for words like 'ayer' (yesterday) or 'anoche' (last night) to confirm it means 'we looked'.
