Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 'recuerde' and 'recuerda'?

'Recuerde' is the formal way to say 'Remember' (used with Usted). 'Recuerda' is the informal way (used with Tú). They are both commands, but used for different levels of politeness.

Why does 'recordar' change its spelling when I conjugate it?

The verb 'recordar' is an irregular verb that has a 'stem change.' The vowel 'o' changes to 'ue' when it is stressed, which happens in most forms, including 'recuerde' (o > ue). This is very common in Spanish verbs.
