Questions & Answers about ¿Estudias español?
Why does the verb estudiar end in -as here?
Because it follows the rule for regular -ar verbs. To say what "you" (informal) do in the present tense, you drop the -ar from estudiar and add -as. This gives us estudias (you study).
Where is the word for "you" in this sentence?
In Spanish, you can usually leave out subject pronouns like tú (you). Because the verb estudias ends in -as, we already know exactly who is doing the action. It can only mean "you study".
How do I say the "Do" part of "Do you study?"
