Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the present subjunctive.
Correct: After verbs of emotion or doubt, use the subjunctive: 'Espero que apoyes...' not 'Espero que apoyas...'.
Why: The indicative indicates certainty, while the subjunctive indicates subjective feelings or uncertainty.
Mistake: Using the infinitive after 'que'.
Correct: Use the conjugated subjunctive form: 'Quiero que apoyemos...'.
Why: A conjugated verb is needed after 'que' when the subject changes.
