Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the imperative for commands.
Correct: Use 'enfada' for 'tú' commands, not 'enfadas'.
Why: The present indicative describes what is happening now, while the imperative is for giving orders.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'no' in negative commands for formal or plural 'you'.
Correct: Use 'no se enfaden' for 'ustedes', not just 'se enfaden'.
Why: Negative commands in the formal/plural forms use 'no' followed by the present subjunctive, which looks identical to the imperative for these persons.
