HABER in Spanish: Everything you need to know (hay, había, he, ha, has, hubo, había, no hay de qué)

In this Spanish lesson, you will learn everything you need to know about the verb ’haber’, from its simplest uses to the most complex contexts. You will learn the use of haber when it works as the equivalent of there is, there are, there was, and there were: hay, hubo, había. You will learn haber as an auxiliary verb, an ambulance verb, because haber goes and helps all other verbs make more complex tenses such as the present perfect, the pluperfect, the conditional, and more. Let’s say what I am talking about is like the verb “to have” in English. When you are using “to have“ as an auxiliary: “I have lived in México“, where “to have” goes to a different level and no longer means what it means in sentences such as “I have two dogs“. You can do the same in Spanish but instead you use the ambulance verb “haber.” In Spanish, for example, these structures require “haber” plus a past participle like the past participle of “to leave“, “left“ to make sentences like I have left: “he salido“, I had left: “había salido“
