Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using 'estar' + gerund ('estoy acomodando') for habitual actions.
Correct: Use the simple present 'acomodo' for habitual actions.
Why: The present progressive ('estar' + gerund) is for actions happening *right now*, not for routines.
Mistake: Confusing 'acomodamos' (present) with 'acomodamos' (preterite).
Correct: Context usually makes it clear, but be mindful. The preterite 'acomodamos' refers to a single completed action, while the present 'acomodamos' refers to a habitual or current action.
Why: These forms are identical, so understanding the context is key.
