Pagar means giving money for something owed, bought or received.
The idea
Regular present forms include pago, pagas, paga and pagamos; say con tarjeta or en efectivo.
Examples
- Pago con tarjeta.I pay by card.
- ¿Pagas en efectivo?Do you pay in cash?
- Ella paga la cuenta.She pays the bill.
- Pagamos el billete en línea.We pay for the ticket online.
- Ellos pagan por la comida.They pay for the meal.
- Quiero pagar ahora.I want to pay now.
