💡 Grammar Points
The 's' Ending
In Spanish, adding an 's' to the end of a verb usually means the subject is 'tú' (the informal version of 'you').
Dropping the Pronoun
Because 'lloras' specifically means 'you cry,' you don't need to say 'tú' unless you want to emphasize it.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Forget the 's'
Mistake: "Tú llora."
Correction: Say 'Tú lloras.' Without the 's,' it sounds like a command or refers to someone else (he/she).
⭐ Usage Tips
Current or Habitual
You can use 'lloras' to mean you are crying right this second OR that you are someone who cries often in general.
