💡 Grammar Points

The 'Hope & Wish' Form

Use 'convierta' after phrases like 'Espero que' (I hope that) or 'Quiero que' (I want that) when you want something to change.

Polite Commands

When you want to tell someone politely (using 'usted') to convert or change something, use 'convierta'.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Forgetting the 'i'

Mistake: "Espero que se converta."

Correction: Say 'convierta'. This verb has a spelling change where the middle 'e' turns into 'ie' in this form.

⭐ Usage Tips

Linking with 'en'

If you are saying something turns into something else, always follow 'convierta' with the word 'en'.
