Common Mistakes

  • Mistake: Using the present indicative for a completed past action.

    Correct: Use the preterite: 'Ayer dibujé' not 'Ayer dibujo'.

    Why: The present tense is for now or habits, not for specific finished events in the past.

  • Mistake: Forgetting the 'u' in the 'yo' form.

    Correct: The first-person singular is 'dibujo', not 'dibigo'.

    Why: The 'g' before 'o' requires a 'u' to maintain the hard 'g' sound, as in 'guitarra'.
