2. Haver “to have”	(auxiliary verb)
hei	havemos
(has)	(haveis)
ha	Mo

a. Haver is not used to translate “to have” in the sense of “to possess” (ter is used for this mean-ing). Haver is used with the past participle to form compound tenses, but ter has been re-placing it in this use:

Hei (tenho) aprendido I have learned (been muito.    learning) very much.

Ha\ia (tinha) esąuecido. I had forgotten.
