The 'Opposite Ending' Rule
Since 'recordar' ends in -ar, its special form for wishes and commands uses -e instead of -a. That's why we say 'recuerdes' instead of 'recuerdas'.
Stem Change: O to UE
The 'o' in the middle of the word changes to 'ue' whenever the stress falls on that syllable. It's like the word grows a little extra muscle when it's emphasized!
Using the wrong form in commands
