💡 Grammar Points
Dual Role of 'Viaja'
This single word serves two purposes: it’s the statement form for 'he/she/it travels' (él/ella/usted) AND the informal command form for 'Travel!' (tú).
Regular -AR Verb
Since 'viajar' is a regular -AR verb, it follows the most common conjugation pattern, making it easy to predict other tenses once you know the basic endings.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing the Command
Mistake: "Using 'viaje' when giving an informal command to a friend (tú)."
Correction: The correct informal command is 'viaja'. Save 'viaje' for formal commands (usted).
⭐ Usage Tips
Implied Subject
In Spanish, you often don't need to say 'él' or 'ella' because the form 'viaja' already tells you who is doing the traveling.

Yes, 'viajar' is a perfectly regular -AR verb, meaning its endings are predictable and don't involve any tricky stem changes.
