Who is 'we'?
Vemos is the form of the verb ver (to see) that you use for 'we' (nosotros or nosotras). So, Nosotros vemos means 'We see'.
Seeing vs. Looking
Use vemos for the general act of seeing or watching something. If you want to say you are actively looking at something, miramos is a better choice. Vemos is what your eyes do, miramos is what your brain tells them to do.
Present vs. Past
Mistake: “Ayer vemos una película.”
Correction: Ayer vimos una película. The past tense form for 'we' is `vimos`. `Vemos` is only for the present.
miramos
/mee-RAH-mohs//miˈɾamos/
Examples
Nosotros miramos las estrellas todas las noches.
We look at the stars every night.
Miramos una película en el cine.
We are watching a movie at the cinema.
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!
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.
General Seeing vs. Deliberate Looking
