Forgetting the Accent on the Past Tense

Even though 'indicar' is a regular verb, whenever the letter 'c' comes before 'e' (like in the past tense 'yo' form or the special forms used for wishes), it changes to 'qu' (indiqué, indique) to keep the hard 'k' sound.

The 'c' to 'qu' Spelling Change

You often hear 'indica' used when talking about instructions or advice from an authority (a doctor, a sign, a manual). It means 'it requires' or 'it recommends.'

Using 'indica' for Formal Advice

Think of 'indica' as the Spanish equivalent of 'It says' or 'It shows' when referring to data, maps, or signs.
