Note: Unlike most of the other most common Spanish verbs, haber is exclusively an auxiliary verb. It is used in combination with a participle to create the pretérito perfecto tense: Esta semana he ido al cine. (“This week I went to the movie theater.”) On its own, haber is used almost exclusively in the impersonal form hay to show the existence or availability of things. In this sense it means “There is”: En este restaurante hay mesas libres. (There are free tables in this restaurant.)
