In Spanish, adding an 's' to the end of a verb usually means the subject is 'tú' (the informal version of 'you').

Dropping the Pronoun

Because 'lloras' specifically means 'you cry,' you don't need to say 'tú' unless you want to emphasize it.

Forget the 's'

Mistake:Tú llora.

Correction: Say 'Tú lloras.' Without the 's,' it sounds like a command or refers to someone else (he/she).
