The 'Have' Helper

'Soñado' is the 'action-completed' form of the verb 'soñar.' When forming perfect tenses, you must pair it with a form of the helping verb 'haber' (to have), for example: 'Hemos soñado' (We have dreamed).

Using the wrong helper verb

Mistake: “Using 'ser' or 'estar' instead of 'haber' for compound tenses (e.g., 'Somos soñado').”

Correction: The correct helper verb is always 'haber' (e.g., 'Hemos soñado'). 'Ser' and 'estar' are only used if 'soñado' is functioning purely as an adjective.
