Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive 'deformar' instead of conjugating: 'Yo deformar el metal'.
Correct: Conjugate the verb: 'Yo deformo el metal'.
Why: The verb must be conjugated to agree with the subject in person and number.
Mistake: Confusing 'deformamos' (present) with 'deformamos' (preterite).
Correct: Context usually clarifies: 'Ayer deformamos la figura' (preterite) vs. 'Ahora deformamos la figura' (present).
Why: The nosotros form is identical in both the present and preterite tenses; listen to or read the surrounding words to determine the meaning.
