Common Mistakes

  • Mistake: Using the present subjunctive form instead of the imperative for 'tú'.

    Correct: The command is 'encubre', not 'encubras'.

    Why: The 'tú' imperative for -ir verbs takes an -e ending, while the present subjunctive takes an -as ending.

  • Mistake: Forgetting the 'no' in negative commands.

    Correct: Negative commands require 'no' before the verb.

    Why: Spanish negative commands use the present subjunctive form, but the 'no' is essential for the negative meaning.
