Common Mistakes

  • Mistake: Using the infinitive: 'No acceder a la cuenta'.

    Correct: Negative commands require the subjunctive mood: 'No accedas a la cuenta'.

    Why: The infinitive is used in other negative constructions (like 'prohibido acceder'), but not for direct commands to a person.

  • Mistake: Forgetting the 'no': 'Ustedes accedan a la zona restringida'.

    Correct: The correct negative command is 'No accedan a la zona restringida'.

    Why: The 'no' is essential for forming a negative command; forgetting it turns the instruction into an affirmative one.
