Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the indicative instead of the subjunctive.

Why: These verbs express subjectivity (doubt, hope, desire) and trigger the subjunctive mood in Spanish.
Mistake: Confusing the 'yo/él/ella/usted' form with the 'tú' form.
Correct: The 'tú' form is 'corrobore', the same as 'yo/él/ella/usted'.
Why: In the present subjunctive of -ar verbs, the 'yo' and 'tú' forms are the same.
