Funny Spanish Verb Conjugations
Spanish has so many persons, tenses, and moods there are not enough verb conjugations to go around. Some conjugations have to do double duty.
Many conjugations are also words in other parts of speech, such as vino, which is a verb conjugation and also "wine." The conjugation meaning is never shown in a Spanish-English dictionary.

Creer and crear
Creer, to believe, and crear, to create, are so close that many of their verb conjugations overlap. Creemos can mean "we believe" or "Let's create!" Creamos can mean "we create" or "Let's believe!" There are many more. Crea can mean "he creates" or it can demand of an adult "Believe!" Cree can mean "he believes" or demand of an adult "Create!" And never mind the subjunctive conjugations.

Creo can either mean "I believe" or "I create" which caused some confusion in the forum section of my Spanish lesson
