abbiamo (avere, present indicative)
First‑person plural form of the verb ‘avere’ (to have); used for ‘we have’.
lezione (noun, fem. sing.)

✕Common Mistakes
Sì, avemo lezione di storia.
The correct first‑person plural of ‘avere’ is ‘abbiamo’.
Sì, abbiamo il lezione di storia.
‘Lezione’ is feminine; the article should be ‘la’ or omitted after ‘avere’.
Sì, abbiamo lezione della storia.
Do not translate ‘history’ as ‘storia’ with a definite article unless you need emphasis: ‘la storia’. Here the preposition ‘di’ is correct.

Cultural Tip
In Italian schools a ‘lezione’ usually lasts 45‑50 minutes. When you want to stress the existence of a class you can also say ‘c’è lezione di…’. Remember that ‘lezione’ is feminine, so the article is ‘la’, not ‘il’. In casual conversation Italians often drop the article after ‘avere’ (e.g., ‘abbiamo lezione di storia’) as in the example.
