💡 Grammar Points
Plural Noun
This is the plural form of 'entrega.' You use 'las' before it (las entregas) because it is a feminine word.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusion with the verb
Mistake: "Using 'tú entregas' when you mean 'the deliveries'."
Correction: Always look for a word like 'las' or 'muchas' to know you are talking about the noun (deliveries) rather than the action (you deliver).
⭐ Usage Tips
School Context
In a Spanish-speaking university, 'entregas' almost always refers to projects or assignments you need to turn in.
The word 'entregas' can also mean 'you deliver,' describing the act of handing something over.

A2If you deliver the package today, it will arrive tomorrow.
💡 Grammar Points
The 'You' Form
This is the form used for 'tú' (informal you). It ends in '-as' because the base verb is 'entregar'.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Spelling Change
Mistake: "Writing 'entregé' in the past."
Correction: When 'g' meets 'e', we add a 'u' to keep the sound hard: 'entregué'. This doesn't happen in 'entregas' because it ends in 'a'.
⭐ Usage Tips
Giving to others
In Spanish, we often add a small word like 'le' or 'me' before the verb to show who you are delivering something to. E.g., 'Me entregas el libro' (You deliver the book to me).

Frequently Asked Questions
Does 'entregas' mean 'surrender'?
Yes, in a certain context. The verb 'entregarse' (to surrender yourself) uses this form: 'Te entregas' means 'You surrender yourself.' However, on its own, it usually means 'you deliver' something else.
How can I tell if 'entregas' is a noun or a verb?
Look at the words around it! If it follows 'las,' 'muchas,' or 'estas,' it's a noun (deliveries). If it follows 'tú' or is doing the action, it's a verb (you deliver).
