💡 Grammar Points
The 'Tú' Form
The '-as' ending tells you that the action ('enter') is being done by 'tú' (you, informal singular) right now. This is one of the most common verb endings in Spanish.
Using 'a' or 'en'
When talking about entering a physical location, you can often use 'a' (to) or 'en' (in/into) after 'entrar': 'Entras a la sala' or 'Entras en la sala'. Both are correct.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing 'entrar' and 'introducir'
Mistake: "Using 'entras' when you mean 'you put something inside something else'."
Correction: Use 'entras' only for people or things moving themselves. If you are putting an object inside, use 'introduces' (e.g., 'introduces la llave' - you insert the key).
⭐ Usage Tips
The opposite: Salir
Many learners pair 'entrar' (to enter) with 'salir' (to leave). Learning them together helps reinforce the concept of movement in and out.
