Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the present subjunctive.
Correct: After verbs of doubt or desire, use the subjunctive: 'Dudo que emita' not 'Dudo que emite'.
Why: The subjunctive mood is required to express uncertainty or subjective feelings, unlike the indicative which states facts.
Mistake: Forgetting the accent on 'emitáis' for vosotros.
Correct: The correct form is 'emitáis', with an accent on the 'i'.
Why: The accent helps indicate the correct pronunciation and distinguishes it from other forms.
