💡 Grammar Points
The 'Double Agent' Word
For verbs ending in -ar, the 'we' form (nosotros) is exactly the same for both the present ('we send') and the past ('we sent'). Use words like 'ayer' (yesterday) or 'ahora' (now) to help your listener know which one you mean.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing One-Time vs. Habitual Past
Mistake: "Using 'enviamos' to mean 'we used to send'."
Correction: Use 'enviábamos' for things you did habitually in the past. Use 'enviamos' for a specific action that happened and finished.
⭐ Usage Tips
Pronouncing the 'V'
In Spanish, the 'v' in 'enviamos' sounds very much like a soft English 'b'. Try saying it like 'en-bee-AH-mohs' to sound more natural!

They are almost identical in meaning. 'Enviar' is slightly more formal and very common for mail/packages, while 'mandar' is more common in casual conversation.
