💡 Grammar Points

The 'te' means 'you'

This word is actually two pieces: 'besar' (to kiss) and 'te' (you). In Spanish, you can glue 'you' to the end of the action if the verb is in its basic 'to' form.

Where to put the pronoun

You can say 'Quiero besarte' (to kiss you) or 'Te quiero besar' (I you want kiss). Both mean the exact same thing!

❌ Common Pitfalls

Don't double up

Mistake: "Te quiero besarte."

Correction: Say 'Quiero besarte' or 'Te quiero besar'. Only use the 'te' once in the sentence.

⭐ Usage Tips

Use it after 'trigger' words

You'll almost always see 'besarte' after words like 'quiero' (I want), 'puedo' (I can), 'voy a' (I'm going to), or 'necesito' (I need).
