Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the subjunctive instead of the imperative for a direct command.
Correct: For a command like 'Discurre tu propia solución,' use the imperative 'Discurre,' not the subjunctive 'Discurras.'
Why: The imperative is for direct commands; the subjunctive is for wishes, doubts, or indirect commands.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'd' in the vosotros form.
Correct: The command for vosotros is 'discurrid,' not 'discurrir.'
Why: For -ir verbs, the imperative vosotros form replaces the final -r with a -d.
