💡 Grammar Points
The 'me' Shortcut
In Spanish, you can stick the 'me' (to me) directly onto the end of an action word if it ends in -ar, -er, or -ir.
The Root Change
The base verb 'mostrar' changes its 'o' to 'ue' when we talk about doing it now (I show, you show), except for 'we' and 'you all'.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Wrong 'Me' Position
Mistake: "Me mostrar puedes."
Correction: ¿Puedes mostrarme? Or ¿Me puedes mostrar? When you have two verbs, the 'me' can go at the very start or the very end, but never in the middle.
⭐ Usage Tips
Be Polite
Start your sentence with '¿Podrías...?' (Could you...?) followed by 'mostrarme' to sound extra polite when asking for a favor.
