Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using 'estar' + gerund for habitual actions: 'Estoy accediendo a la red cada mañana'.
Correct: For habitual actions, the simple present is correct: 'Accedo a la red cada mañana'.
Why: 'Estar' + gerund emphasizes an action in progress *right now*, not a repeated or habitual one.
Mistake: Incorrect conjugation for él/ella/usted: 'El sistema accedan'.
Correct: The correct form is 'El sistema accede'.
Why: Subject-verb agreement is essential; 'acceden' is for plural subjects like 'ellos/ellas/ustedes'.
