The 'We' Form in the Simple Past
'Hicimos' is the way to say 'we did' or 'we made' for a single, completed action in the past. It comes from the verb 'hacer'. Notice how the 'a' in 'hacer' changes to an 'i': hacer -> hicimos.
When to Use 'Hicimos'
Use 'hicimos' for actions that are finished and done. Think of words like 'yesterday' (ayer), 'last night' (anoche), or 'last week' (la semana pasada). If you were describing something you used to do often, you'd use a different form: 'hacíamos'.
Confusing Past and Present
Mistake: “Ayer hacemos un pastel.”
Correction: Ayer **hicimos** un pastel. 'Hacemos' means 'we do/make' right now, while 'hicimos' is for a finished action in the past.
Spelling with 's'
Mistake: “Hisimos la comida.”
Correction: **Hicimos** la comida. Even though it sounds like an 's', it's always spelled with a 'c' because it comes from the verb 'ha**c**er'.
