How to Say "we've" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “we've” is “hemos” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.

Your Go-To Helper Verb
Think of 'hemos' as a 'helper' verb. It always comes before another verb that has an '-ado' or '-ido' ending to talk about things 'we have' done in the past. For example, 'hemos comido' (we have eaten).
Always Stays Together
In a sentence, 'hemos' and the main verb (like 'comido') are a team and almost always stick together. You can't put other words between them. Say 'No hemos comido', not 'Hemos no comido'.
'Hemos' vs. 'Tenemos'
Mistake: “Using 'tenemos' to talk about past actions, like 'Tenemos comido'.”
Correction: Use 'hemos' for actions ('Hemos comido' - We have eaten). Use 'tenemos' for possession ('Tenemos comida' - We have food).
