The 'Tú' Form
'Llegas' is the verb form you use when addressing one person informally, like a friend, family member, or child.
Preposition 'a'
When talking about reaching a destination, the verb 'llegar' almost always needs the preposition 'a' (to/at): 'Llegas a casa' (You arrive at home).
Confusing 'llegar' and 'venir'
Mistake: “Using 'llegas' when you mean 'you come toward me' ('vienes').”
Correction: 'Llegar' means arriving at a destination; 'venir' means coming to the speaker's current location. Say '¿Cuándo *vienes* a mi casa?' (When are you coming to my house?), not 'llegas'.
