💡 Grammar Points
The 'gu' Spelling Rule
In Spanish, the letter 'g' sounds like 'h' before an 'e'. To keep the hard 'g' sound (like in 'game'), we add a silent 'u' to make 'gue'.
Expressing Wishes and Commands
This specific word form is used when you want someone to do something ('I want you to deliver it') or when giving a polite, formal order.
❌ Common Pitfalls
The Missing Accent
Mistake: "Using 'entregué' when you mean 'entregue'."
Correction: Use 'entregue' (no accent) for commands or wishes; use 'entregué' (with an accent) only for 'I delivered' in the past.
⭐ Usage Tips
Being Polite
Use 'entregue' when speaking to a boss, a stranger, or an older person to give a polite instruction.
