Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive after 'no'.
Correct: It should be 'no divorciar' only if you mean 'not to divorce' as a concept, but for commands it's 'no divorcies' (tú) or 'no divorcie' (usted).
Why: Negative commands require the subjunctive mood, not the infinitive.
Mistake: Confusing with affirmative imperative.
Correct: Remember negative commands always use the subjunctive form (like 'no divorcies'), while affirmative tú is 'divorcia'.
Why: The affirmative and negative commands differ significantly for tú.
