In Spanish, the 'we' form for -ir verbs is exactly the same in the present and the past. You have to look at the other words in the sentence (like 'yesterday' or 'always') to know which one is being used.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Confusing 'to die' with 'to be dead'

Mistake: "morimos"

Correction: estamos muertos

⭐ Usage Tips

Dramatic Effect

Spanish speakers often use 'nos morimos' (adding the 'nos' at the start) to sound more dramatic when talking about being tired, hungry, or excited.
