❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing `pase` with `paseo`
Mistake: "Quiero comprar un paseo para el concierto."
Correction: Quiero comprar un pase para el concierto. 'Pase' is the ticket or permit itself. 'Paseo' is the activity of going for a walk or a stroll.
⭐ Usage Tips
The Thing vs. The Action
Think of 'pase' (the noun) as a thing that gives you permission to do something or go somewhere. This helps separate it from the verb 'pasar' (to pass) or the noun 'paseo' (a walk).
