"Ich habe gesprochen" - note spelling and lack of capitalization of
"gesprochen".

> Ich Ge = I go?
"Ich gehe" = I go

The verb _gehen_ (1st sg ind. _gehe_) is NOT to be identified with the prefix
_ge-_ seen on past participles like _gesprochen_. In fact, you get the prefix
on the past part. of _gehen_ itself: _gegangen_.
