Answer 1

"Quieres" goes with "tú," so you use it when you're speaking to children, pets, or someone with whom you're on a first-name basis. "Quiere" goes with "usted," so you use in more formal situations when you want to show respect, say when you're speaking to an older person, a stranger, or a boss.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say that it changes when you write it.

Great answer. - katydew, Oct 28, 2013
