¿Por qué no visitas a tu mamá?

In Spanish, when you say things like I love..., I see…, I visit…, what you say next depends on whether you are talking about a person or a thing. For people, you should always add a!

Yo visito a Juan.
I visit Juan.

Yo siempre visito el museo.

Remember that Me llamo Duo literally means I call myself Duo. But if we say Llamo a Duo, it means I call Duo.

Yo llamo a mamá todos los días.
I call Mom every day.
