Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 'me' at the end of the word?
In Spanish, when a verb is in its dictionary form (ending in -ar, -er, or -ir), small words like 'me' (me), 'te' (you), or 'lo' (it) are attached directly to the end.
Can I say 'me pagar'?
Not usually. 'Me' only goes before the verb if the verb is conjugated (like 'me pagas'). If it's the base form, it must be 'pagarme'.
