Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive with 'no', like 'no emitir'.
Correct: Use the negative imperative form: 'no emitas' (tú), 'no emita' (usted), etc.
Why: The infinitive is the base form of the verb; commands require specific conjugated forms.
Mistake: Confusing 'no emitáis' (vosotros) with 'no emitan' (ustedes/ellos).
Correct: 'No emitáis' is for 'vosotros', while 'no emitan' is for 'ustedes' or 'ellos/ellas'.
Why: These are distinct forms for different plural 'you' or 'they' contexts.
