Pagar es el verbo para "to pay" en ingles.
Y comprar es el verbo para "to buy" en ingles.
Estes dos verbos no son los mismos.
La camisa is a shirt while la camiseta is a T-shirt which is more casual clothing

T-Shirt (wore on a day off or when going to the beach) is what you wear with the logo or picture of your favorite band or singer.
While a Shirt (More casual or business casual) could be either a Polo or Dress shirt.
Hope this helps.

Because 'comprar' means 'to buy'. To be boring, it's an infinitive verb... and in English, infinitive verbs are expressed as 'to...' plus the verb base. E.g., 'to sleep', 'to buy'. Peeps would never say "I want buy a shirt." Similarly, they'd never say "I want to to buy a shirt."

I can hear now, i changed my ear phones, they were the problem. Duolingo is realy 2 languages for me because I am french and have to think in english so I learn 2 languages at the same time. I'm not bad in english but I have to think. It's a lot of fun. Lots of words are close to french and that helps.
So, why is comprar so difficult to pronounce? I can roll my r's pretty well, but not on this word. Yet. Help!

These Rs you don't need to roll, only lilt them (have your toungue almost flap against your pallete like your about to pronounce the letter L).
Spanish has two types of Rs, the rolling ones and the lilted ones. If the letter appears at the start of the word (like in "rojo") or if its a double R (like in "perro"), you roll it. Otherwise it should be lilted.
