Common Mistakes

  • Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of imperative for commands.

    Correct: For commands, use the imperative forms like 'añade' or 'añada'.

    Why: The indicative describes actions, while the imperative directly commands them.

  • Mistake: Forgetting the accent on 'añadáis' (vosotros negative imperative).

    Correct: The negative vosotros imperative is 'no añadáis'. The accent is crucial.

    Why: The accent is needed to maintain the correct stress on the 'a' syllable when the 's' is dropped.
