💡 Grammar Points
Verb Form
This word, 'admito,' is the 'yo' form (I) in the present tense. You use it when talking about an action you are doing right now or a general truth about yourself.
Using 'Que'
When admitting something that is a complete sentence, you must include 'que' (that) right after 'admito,' like: 'Admito que [nueva frase].'
❌ Common Pitfalls
Forgetting 'Yo'
Mistake: "Admito mi error."
Correction: This is actually correct! Since the verb ending already tells you who is doing the action (I), you can often leave out the 'yo' pronoun in Spanish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'admito' a regular or irregular verb?
'Admitir' is a regular -IR verb in most tenses, including the present tense 'admito'. This means its stem (admit-) does not change its spelling, making it easier to conjugate than many other Spanish verbs.
Do I need to use the pronoun 'yo' with 'admito'?
No, you don't! Since 'admito' clearly means 'I admit' because of the '-o' ending, the 'yo' is almost always left out unless you need to emphasize that *you* are the one admitting something.
