💡 Grammar Points
Subjunctive Alert
The ending '-es' is a strong signal that you are using the 'special feeling' form of the verb (subjunctive mood) for 'tú' (you, informal).
When to Use 'Entres'
You must use 'entres' after verbs that express desire, necessity, doubt, or command, like 'Quiero que...' (I want that you...) or 'Dudo que...' (I doubt that you...).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Indicative vs. Subjunctive
Mistake: "No creo que tú entras."
Correction: No creo que tú entres. (The verb 'creer' (to believe) in the negative requires the special subjunctive form.)
⭐ Usage Tips
A Simple Command
To give a negative command to 'tú' (e.g., 'Don't go in!'), you also use this form: '¡No entres!'
