Escapas

Escapas is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb escapar, meaning you escape. It is a regular form used when the subject is the pronoun tú (informal you). As with other -ar verbs, escapas appears in sentences to state that the subject pursues the action of escaping in the present tense.

In conjugation terms, escapar follows the standard -ar verb pattern: yo escapo, tú escapas, él/ella/usted escapa, nosotros escapamos, vosotros escapáis, ellos/ellas/ustedes escapan. The form escapas is distinct from the related noun escapa, which in some contexts can mean an act of escaping or an escape route, though escapas itself is not a noun.

Usage and examples. Escapas can be found in everyday speech and writing whenever the action of escaping is being described directly to or by the listener. For example: Tú escapas de la habitación antes de que llegue la policía. This illustrates the direct address of the second person in the present tense.

Relationship to related terms. Escapar is the base verb, with escapas representing a specific person and tense. Related forms include escapas, escapes, escapa, and escapamos, each serving different grammatical roles in sentences. There are no widely recognized senses of escapas as a standalone noun or proper name in standard references; its primary function is as a verb form in Spanish grammar.
