------"haber"------

Question

is there a video instruction here in spanishdict that explains the word "haber".. can anyone give me a link? tnx!

Answer 1

There is another use of "haber" which is the impersonal use and means something like "there to be", not good English I know, however, some examples which might make it a bit clearer.

Hay - There is/are

Haya - let there be, may there be

habido - there having been

habiendo - there being

había - there was/were (imperfect)

hubo - there was/were (past definite)

habrá - there will be

habría- there would be

ha habido- there has been

había habido - there had been

etc, etc, etc with all the other terms using habido.

I believe there is also a form "ha" used to denote "ago" as in expressions of time, example "mucho tiempo ha" a long time ago.

Hi and welcome to the forum! I am not sure, but put the word "haber" into the Question box and you will get lots of results!

Answer 3

Not a video, but this might help

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/spanish-english/haber_1?q=haber

or this one will do the conjugating stuff

http://spanish.about.com/library/weekly/aa040201b.htm

(usually a good place for word lists)

If you really want to find a video, you can probably find something on youtube. There are a lot of people out there who like to make language videos...of varying quality.

There are also the videos from spanishdict on there so you might be able to find one after all
