💡 Grammar Points
The 'Personal A'
When 'adoran' is followed by a person or a pet, you must use the word 'a' before them. For example: 'Adoran a María'.
Who is 'adoran'?
This form is used specifically for 'they' (ellos/ellas) or for 'you all' (ustedes).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using it for 'I' or 'You'
Mistake: "Yo adoran a mi gato."
Correction: Say 'Yo adoro' for 'I' and 'Tú adoras' for 'You (informal)'. 'Adoran' is only for groups.
⭐ Usage Tips
More than 'like'
Use 'adoran' when 'gustan' (they like) isn't strong enough. It expresses a much deeper, more passionate feeling.
