And when this clicked for me everything fell into place. The trick is haber. Haber means have. Not had. Not tener. Have. One structure covers everything. I was in Spain. I have been to Spain. I went to Spain. In Spanish — He estado en España. That's it. One sentence. All three meanings. And this song helps you to hear it, feel it, and remember it — without ever having to think about it again. Intro The past tense in Spanish uses haber. Haber means have. Not had. Not tener. Have spoken. Have eaten. Have lived. I — he. You — has. He, she — ha. We — hemos. They — han. Then add the past participle. Ar verbs — drop the ar, add ado. Hablar — hablado. Spoken. Er and ir verbs — drop the er or ir, add ido. Comer — comido. Eaten. Vivir — vivido. Lived. He hablado. Has comido. Ha vivido. That's it. Let's go.
