💡 Grammar Points
The 'Tú' Form
'Usas' is the verb form you use when talking directly to a friend, family member, or someone younger—the informal 'you'.
Regular -AR Pattern
Since 'usar' is a regular verb ending in -AR, the 'tú' form always ends in -as in the present tense (e.g., 'hablas', 'compras', 'usas').
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing 'Tú' and 'Usted'
Mistake: "Using 'usas' (tú) when you should be formal: '¿Usted usas mi teléfono?'"
Correction: For formal situations, use 'Usted usa': '¿Usted usa mi teléfono?'
⭐ Usage Tips
Using 'Usar' for Clothes
While 'llevar' or 'vestir' are common for 'to wear,' 'usar' is also perfectly fine for saying 'you use/wear clothes' (e.g., 'Usas pantalones negros').
