Using the wrong gender

Since 'completa' is feminine, you only use it when describing feminine things, like 'la casa' (the house) or 'la historia' (the story). For masculine things, you must use 'completo'.

Matching the Noun

'Completo' usually means something is finished or has all its required parts. 'Lleno' (full) is better used when talking about physical capacity, like a glass or a theater.

Completo vs. Lleno

Extremely common in everyday speech and writing.

Confusing the command forms

The familiar command for 'tú' (you) uses the exact same form as the 'él/ella/usted' present tense form. So, 'completa' can mean 'she completes' or 'Complete! (you familiar)'.

The 'Tú' Command

If you want to ask someone politely to complete something, use the 'usted' form: 'Complete, por favor' (Complete, please).

Asking politely

Very common, especially in formal instructions and administrative contexts.
