✕Common Mistakes
¿Me pasa tu número?
‘Pasa’ is third‑person singular; the subject is ‘tú’, so you need ‘pasas’.
¿Me pasas mi número?
‘Mi’ means ‘my’; the phrase asks for the other person’s number, so it should be ‘tu’.
¿Me pasas tú número?
The possessive adjective must be ‘tu’ (without accent) placed before the noun; adding the subject pronoun ‘tú’ is redundant.

Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries, exchanging phone numbers is a common way to keep in touch, but the level of formality matters. With strangers or older people, use the formal ‘usted’ form: ‘¿Me podría dar su número, por favor?’ Adding ‘por favor’ or ‘gracias’ softens the request and shows politeness. Also, be aware that some regions prefer ‘celular’ instead of ‘número de teléfono’.
