Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using 'almacenar' (infinitive) instead of conjugating.
Correct: Always conjugate the verb: 'Yo almaceno', 'Tú almacenas', etc.
Why: The infinitive is the base form and cannot be used to describe an action performed by a subject.
Mistake: Confusing the 'vosotros' form.
Correct: The correct form for vosotros is 'almacenáis'.
Why: This is a common area of confusion for learners, especially those not from Spain.
