In formal or professional settings, 'llamar' is often used to request someone's attention or to summon a person or group. For example, 'El profesor llamará a la clase a la hora de la reunión' (The professor will call the class at the time of the meeting). However, in informal contexts, 'llamar' can be used to beckon someone, as in '¡Llámame cuando llegues!' (Call me when you arrive!). Learners often confuse 'llamar' with 'llamar la atención', which means 'to attract attention', but the latter phrase requires the preposition 'a' before the noun.
