💡 Grammar Points

Why the 'e' instead of 'a'?

This word uses a special form where the 'a' in 'enfadas' changes to an 'e'. This happens when you are giving a negative command ('Don't...') or expressing feelings.

The 'te' factor

You will almost always see this word with 'te' (te enfades) because getting angry is something you do to yourself in Spanish grammar.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Don't say 'No te enfadas'

Mistake: "No te enfadas."

Correction: No te enfades.

⭐ Usage Tips
