Common Mistakes

  • Mistake: Using the present subjunctive instead of the present indicative for factual statements.

    Correct: For a general truth like 'Bad news depresses him,' say 'Las malas noticias lo deprimen,' not 'Las malas noticias lo depriman.'

    Why: The indicative is for facts and reality, while the subjunctive is for uncertainty, emotion, or desire.
