comes

"Comes" means "you eat" (second person singular, present tense of "comer").

In a sentence

  • Tú comes una manzana.

    You eat an apple.

    Here, 'comes' is used as the second-person singular form of the verb 'comer', meaning 'to eat', in the present tense. It denotes the action of eating by the person being directly addressed.

  • Si comes demasiados dulces, te podrías sentir mal.

    If you eat too many sweets, you might feel unwell.

    In this usage, 'comes' is still the same conjugation referring to the direct action of eating. However, it is within a conditional statement, showing a hypothetical situation or consequence.

  • En el juego, cuando comes una ficha, la retiras del tablero.

    In the game, when you take a piece, you remove it from the board.

    Here, 'comes' metaphorically describes the act of 'taking' a game piece or counter during gameplay, extending its primary meaning of consumption to an analogous action.
