Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive 'afrontar' instead of a command form.
Correct: Use 'afronta' for 'tú', 'afronte' for 'usted', etc.
Why: The infinitive is the base form of the verb and isn't used for direct commands.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'vosotros' ending '-d' when using the command form.
Correct: The correct form for 'vosotros' is 'afrontad'.
Why: The imperative for 'vosotros' drops the '-r' from the infinitive and adds '-d'.
