💡 Grammar Points
The 'Tú' Form
This word, 'aceptas', is the way we talk to one person informally about what they are doing now ('you accept'). Notice the '-as' ending, which is typical for 'tú' in present tense verbs that end in -ar.
Action vs. State
When you use 'aceptas' in the present tense, it can mean you are accepting something right now, or that you generally accept something as a state of mind or agreement.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Mixing Formal and Informal
Mistake: "¿Usted aceptas la oferta?"
Correction: If you are speaking formally (using 'usted'), you must use 'acepta'. Only use 'aceptas' with 'tú'.
⭐ Usage Tips
Asking Questions
In Spanish, you don't need an extra word like 'do' to ask a question. Just raising your voice at the end of the sentence turns 'Tú aceptas' (You accept) into '¿Aceptas?' (Do you accept?).
