Whenever you're trying to get someone to understand where you’re coming from:

You know how I’ve been swamped with work…
Ves que no me gusta salir mucho…
You know I don’t really like going out…
Ves que se pone de malas fácil.

It can also sometimes translate well as do you remember that/when:
¿Ves que nos dijo que se había ido a su casa? ¡Pues se fue con el novio!
Remember when she told us she went home? Well, she actually went to her boyfriend’s place!
¿Ves que habían terminado? Pues ya se casaron
Remember how they broke up? Well, they’re married now.
