Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using 'desnudar' (infinitive) instead of a conjugated form.
Correct: Use 'Me desnudo', 'Te desnudas', etc.
Why: The infinitive cannot be used as the main verb in a sentence unless it's part of a structure like 'ir a + infinitive'.
Mistake: Confusing 'desnuda' (él/ella/usted, present) with 'desnuda' (tú, imperative).
Correct: Context is key. 'Él desnuda' is present indicative, while '¡Desnuda!' is an imperative command.
Why: The same form can exist in different tenses or moods; meaning comes from the surrounding sentence.
