Verb Form

This word, 'admito,' is the 'yo' form (I) in the present tense. You use it when talking about an action you are doing right now or a general truth about yourself.

Using 'Que'

When admitting something that is a complete sentence, you must include 'que' (that) right after 'admito,' like: 'Admito que [nueva frase].'

Forgetting 'Yo'

Mistake: “Admito mi error.”

Correction: This is actually correct! Since the verb ending already tells you who is doing the action (I), you can often leave out the 'yo' pronoun in Spanish.
