Common Mistakes

  • Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the present subjunctive.

    Correct: Use 'disguste' (él/ella/usted), 'disgusten' (ellos/ellas/ustedes), etc., after doubt or emotion.

    Why: Expressions of doubt, desire, emotion, and uncertainty trigger the subjunctive mood.

  • Mistake: Confusing 'disgusta' (indicative) and 'disguste' (subjunctive) for él/ella/usted.

    Correct: Remember that after expressions like 'dudo que' or 'espero que', you need the subjunctive 'disguste'.

    Why: The subjunctive forms are distinct from the indicative in many cases.
