Ciao! I am new and still learning. I came across an example sentence somewhere that said "abbiamo avuto un problema" (we had a problem). Got me wondering how to say "had" for all persons/pronouns.
Is the following correct?
ho avuto un problema
hai avuto....
ha avuto
abbiamo avuto
And any other tips on this appreciated!
Grazie!
avete avuto
avevano un problema
Had ....

Ciao Viviana,
in Italian the past is expressed by using the present perfect tense.
Therefore the past of the verb "avere" will be :
io ho avuto
tu hai avuto
lui,lei ha avuto
noi abbiamo avuto
voi avete avuto
loro hanno avuto
I'd recommend to go to lesson 4.8 and you will be able to have explanation about the use of this tense.
Buon divertimento.
Ciao
