Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense instead of imperative for commands.
Correct: For commands, use the imperative mood: 'Acciona' not 'Accionas'.
Why: The present indicative describes habits or current actions, while the imperative is for direct orders.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'no' for negative commands.
Correct: Negative commands require 'no' before the verb: 'No acciones'.
Why: The negative imperative in Spanish uses the present subjunctive with 'no'.
