Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the present subjunctive.
Correct: After verbs like 'querer', 'dudar', 'esperar', use the present subjunctive: 'Espero que arrasen', not 'Espero que arrasan'.
Why: These verbs trigger the subjunctive mood because they express uncertainty or desire.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'que' that often introduces the subjunctive clause.
Correct: Often, a 'que' is needed to connect the main clause to the subjunctive clause: 'Quiero que arrasemos...'.
Why: The 'que' acts as a connector, introducing the subordinate clause where the subjunctive is required.
