💡 Grammar Points
The 'No' Rule
When you tell someone NOT to do something (a negative command), the verb ending swaps. Since 'asustar' is an -ar verb, it uses -es for the 'you' form: 'No te asustes'.
Expressing Feelings
Use 'asustes' after phrases like 'I hope that...' (Espero que...) or 'I don't want you to...' (No quiero que...).
