Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the indicative present ('desnuda') instead of the subjunctive ('desnude').
Correct: After verbs like 'esperar', 'querer', 'dudar', use the subjunctive: 'Espero que desnude'.
Why: These verbs express subjectivity, requiring the subjunctive mood.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'no' in negative commands.
Correct: Negative commands use 'no' + present subjunctive, e.g., 'No desnudes'.
Why: The structure for negative commands is specific.
