Correct: Use 'no coordinar' for a general prohibition, but for a specific command, use the subjunctive: 'no coordines'.
Why: Commands, even negative ones, require a conjugated verb form.
Mistake: Confusing 'no coordines' with 'no coordinas'.
Correct: 'No coordines' is the negative command for 'tú', while 'no coordinas' is a statement meaning 'you don't coordinate'.
