Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the present subjunctive.
Correct: After 'Espero que,' use 'discurra,' not 'discurre.'
Why: Expressions of hope, doubt, or emotion trigger the subjunctive mood, not the indicative.
Mistake: Forgetting the stem change in the yo form.
Correct: The yo form is 'discurra,' not 'discurro' (which is present indicative).
Why: While the yo form looks regular, the stem change from 'o' to 'u' happens in the first person singular of the present subjunctive for verbs like 'dormir,' and 'discurrir' follows this pattern in its subjunctive forms.
