@Lou Ann: "Había" because you also have to make a correspondence with "estaban". "Ilesas" because "ileson" is not a possibility for any adjective in Spanish. ileso - él ilesa - ella ilesos - ellos ilesas - ellas

Yo no había usado la palabra correctamente, entonces Después de que el pájaro caía del cielo yo corría para examinarlo, suerte que el pájaro me parecía bien y ileso. Aún/Ya antes de acabar de examinarlo, (el pájaro) volvía en el cielo de nuevo (Before I finished examining it, the bird flew back into the sky) No estoy seguro de que yo use "aún" correctamente

This is why I shouldn't be trying to mess with syntax about which I know nothing. I didn't realize that "hay" was a conjugated verb. I just thought it was some special word that always means "there are" ... kind of like "que tal" is sort of generic. What verb is it a conjugated form of?
(sigh.....) I need to just stick to present tense for now...... THANKS both of you!

Haber, bizarrely. When used as the auxiliary of the perfect tense it's "he, has, ha, hemos, habéis, han", but when used as "there is" ha becomes hay. For imperfect and conditional it's just the third person form, unmodified.

In fact, I don't understand a word of what you're saying. Please don't worry about explaining it to me more. I'll just avoid using it until I have a chance to study it in depth and understand it better.... THANK YOU for trying. I can be kind of thick sometimes.........

Haber significa "to have" Yo he visto - I have seen Tú has visto - You have seen Él ha visto - He has seen Nosotros hemos visto - We have seen Vosotros habéis (Pienso solo en España se lo usa) - You have seen Ellos han visto - They have seen Entonces tenemos, Hay personas en el parque It has people in the park (There are people in the park) Hubo (el tiempo pasado) Hubo personas en el parque (It had people in the park) Ten cuidad , no lo confundes con tener. Espero que te lo ayude. No te preocupes porque sabes mucho!

Thanks, Bob, for trying. I honestly think that this is something that is beyond me at this point. I promise I will study it eventually ... but don't try to explain it to me further, as I honestly don't understand it and will have to actually study it before I get it. But there are a whole huge LIST of things that I'll have to study first (like por/para and estar/ser, etc.) For now, for the sake of the discussion on the current topic ... I DO understand why it's ilesas.
