Mixing up tú and usted

The '-as' ending always tells you the subject is 'tú' (you, singular informal). You often don't need to say 'tú' because the verb ending already makes it clear.

Identifying 'Tú'

While 'amar' means to love someone deeply, 'querer' is often used for loving friends or family members, or just really liking something. 'Amar' is usually reserved for romantic or profound affection.

Loving People vs. Things

Since 'amar' is perfectly regular, once you learn its pattern, you can use the same endings (-o, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, -an) for hundreds of other common verbs like 'hablar' (to speak) and 'caminar' (to walk).
