Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 'creéis' have an accent mark?

The accent mark on the 'e' is essential because it tells you to pronounce the vowels ('e' and 'i') separately, stressing the 'e' (kre-EYS). This breaks the normal diphthong rule and helps maintain the standard verb ending stress.

Is 'creéis' the same as 'creen'?

They both mean 'you all believe/think,' but they are used in different regions. 'Creéis' is the informal form for Spain. 'Creen' is the form used for all plural 'you' addresses in Latin America, and for formal plural addresses in Spain.
