Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive after 'no', like 'No concretar la decisión'.
Correct: Always use the subjunctive form: 'No concrete la decisión'.
Why: Spanish commands (positive or negative) require the subjunctive mood, not the infinitive.
Mistake: Confusing 'tú' and 'usted' negative commands, e.g., 'No concrete' when meaning 'you (informal) don't finalize'.
Correct: Use 'No concretes' for 'tú' and 'No concrete' for 'usted'.
Why: They are different forms derived from the present subjunctive.
