is there a particular way of saying this, or do i just say "antes"?
Also, is there a way of saying kind of like "Have you heard of..."?
Would this just be conocer?
Thanks for the responses!

Please, state what you want to say exactly, in English, and give your version in Spanish.

If you're asking to say, "I have done it before", I believe you would say,
"(Yo) Lo he hecho antes."
I think your second one if you're asking to say, "Have your heard of . .?" would be,
"?Has oído de. . . ?"
I'm still learning too so definitely get a second. . . or third opinion :D:thumbsup:.

Caliber's suggestions are fine, but I agree with Chileno: if you have a specific idea for what you want to say, it would be easier to help you.

Pueba con "ya (lo) +pasado". Eso ya lo hice antes, Ya estuve aquí antes, Ya pasé por aquí. Ya estuvieron en casa.
O con "Acabo de +infinitivo" Acabo de comprarlo. Acabo de dejarlo. Acabo de llegar. (Pasado muy reciente).
"Have you heard of..." , creo que se puede traducir por ¿sabes algo de ...? ¿has oído que...? ¿has oído algo sobre...? ¿has oido algo de que...?, y también ¿conoce usted a ...?, por ejemplo.
Aparte de las expresiones que de apuntaron antes.
