Forgetting the 'a'

The word 'adora' can mean 'he/she/it adores' (third person) OR 'you adore' (formal 'usted' form) in the present tense. Context will tell you which one is correct.

Identifying 'Adora'

When 'adora' is followed by a person (or a beloved pet), you must use the word 'a' right before the person's name or title: 'Él adora a su esposa' (He adores his wife).

The Personal 'A'

'Adorar' often implies a deeper, more intense feeling than simple 'gustar' (to like) or even 'amar' (to love). Use it for passions or deep devotion.

More than just 'love'

Commonly used when expressing deep affection or religious devotion.

'Adora' is a conjugation of the regular Spanish verb 'adorar' (to adore/worship). Learn its meanings, when to use the personal 'a', and see full conjugation tables for all tenses.
