Answer 1

If I am not mistaken, "te ame" is used in the present subjunctive. I hope I am correct in saying this. "te amo" and this is in the present tense (one in the same). Check out these links: link text link text

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Te amé doesn't sound right. I don't think you would love someone as a one time event, so the preterite isn't likely. Te ame is the subjunctive. That might fit in a subjunctive clause somewhere and is probably more likely than the preterite.

Answer 3

te amo = I love you te amé = I used to love you (I loved you)

'Te ame' is the subjunctive form but I doubt that someone would use it that way without you being able to understand what they mean. I would assume it's the 'amé' version you meant.
