✦Grammar Breakdown
Entramos?
Entrar (present indicative)
The verb 'entrar' is conjugated as 'entramos' for first‑person plural (nosotros) in the present indicative, meaning 'we enter' or 'we are entering'.
Question intonation
When the same form is used as a question, the rising intonation (or a question mark in writing) turns the statement into a suggestion: 'Shall we go in?'
Subject pronoun omission
Spanish normally drops the subject pronoun; 'nosotros' is understood from the verb ending '-amos'.

Used as a statement it means 'We entered' (past) or 'We are entering' (present). To ask a question you need the rising intonation or the question marks.
¿Entramos tú?
The verb form 'entramos' already includes the subject 'nosotros'; adding 'tú' creates a grammatical mismatch.
¿Entramos ahora?
While understandable, the more natural phrasing is '¿Entramos ya?' or simply '¿Entramos?'.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking households it’s considered courteous to ask before entering a private space, especially if you’re not the host. Using '¿Entramos?' signals respect for the people inside. For a more formal or singular request, say '¿Puedo entrar?' or '¿Me permite entrar?'.
