"He uses the spoon."

Translation: Ele usa a colher.

[quadrivium]

Why do I get it wrong when I use "uso" instead of "usa"? I say this because sometimes it is counted as right. So which is the correct answer?

Hi quadrivium!

We only use "uso" with the pronoun "eu":

Eu uso = I use

Você usa = you use

Ele usa = he uses

Ela usa = she uses

Hope it helps :-D
