Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive 'censurar' instead of an imperative form.
Correct: Use 'censura' for tú, 'censure' for usted, etc.
Why: Commands require specific imperative conjugations, not the infinitive.
Mistake: Confusing 'censure' (usted) with 'censures' (tú, present subjunctive).
