Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the present subjunctive.
Correct: After expressions of doubt or hope, use subjunctive: 'Dudo que accionan' is wrong; it should be 'Dudo que accionen'.
Why: The subjunctive mood is required to express non-factual states like doubt, desire, or emotion.
Mistake: Mixing up tú and usted forms.
Correct: Remember 'acciones' is for tú and 'accione' is for usted.
Why: These are distinct forms in the present subjunctive, just as they are in the affirmative imperative.
