Correct: Use 'No agrupes las cosas' (or the appropriate subjunctive form).
Why: Negative commands require the subjunctive mood, not the infinitive.
Mistake: Confusing with the affirmative imperative: 'Agrupa no las cosas'.
Correct: The word 'no' always comes before the verb in negative commands: 'No agrupes las cosas'.
Why: Word order is crucial for forming negative commands correctly.
