💡 Grammar Points
Understanding the 'te' at the end
This word is a combination of 'unir' (to join) and 'te' (you). We stick 'te' on the end when 'unir' is in its basic 'to' form and refers to you doing the action to yourself.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Placement of 'te'
Mistake: "te unirte"
Correction: Use either 'unirte' (after another verb) or 'te unes' (as the main action). Don't double up on the 'te'.
⭐ Usage Tips
When to use it
Use 'unirte' after verbs that express desire or necessity, like 'quieres unirte' (you want to join) or 'tienes que unirte' (you have to join).

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the 'te' at the end of the word?
In Spanish, when a verb is in its basic 'infinitive' form (ending in -ar, -er, or -ir), pronouns like 'te' (you) are attached directly to the end of the word.
Can I say 'unirte a' or just 'unirte'?
You almost always need 'a' after 'unirte' if you are specifying what you are joining (e.g., 'unirte a la fiesta').
