The Spanish present perfect uses haber + a past participle to link a past action to now, often inside a time period that’s still open. If you’ve studied Spanish for a bit, you’ve seen lines like he comido or hemos vivido. That tense is the present perfect. It’s a handy “bridge” tense because it talks […]

Most times, you’ll say “trabajamos,” and you’ll switch to “estamos trabajando” when you mean we’re working right now.
