Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the subjunctive instead of the imperative for direct commands.
Correct: For direct commands, use the imperative forms like 'atora' or 'atore'.
Why: The subjunctive is for indirect commands or expressing wishes/doubts, not direct orders.
Mistake: Confusing 'atore' (usted/él/ella) with 'atures' (tú present subjunctive).
Correct: The command for 'usted' is 'atore', while the subjunctive for 'tú' is 'atures'.
Why: These forms sound similar but have different uses and spellings.
