Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present subjunctive instead of the affirmative imperative for 'tú'.
Correct: The correct form is 'desaloja', not 'desalojes'.
Why: The 'tú' affirmative imperative for regular -ar verbs drops the '-r' and adds '-a'.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'no' before negative commands.
Correct: It should be 'No desalojes', not 'Desalojes'.
Why: All negative commands in Spanish use the subjunctive mood, and the 'no' is essential.
