✕Common Mistakes
Sí, aquí tú tienes mi pasaporte.
The verb should stay in the second‑person singular without the subject pronoun; “tú tienes” sounds redundant in this context.
Sí, aquí está mi pasaporte.
“Está” refers to location, not to the act of giving. Use “tienes” when you are handing something over.
Sí, mi pasaporte aquí tienes.
Spanish word order prefers the adverb before the verb; placing the noun first sounds unnatural.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, handing over a document is often accompanied by “aquí tienes” (here you have) to signal that the item is being offered right now. Adding a friendly “claro” or “por supuesto” can make the exchange sound warmer, especially in informal settings. Remember to keep eye contact and say “gracias” after receiving the passport back.
