Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using 'enrola' instead of 'enrolla' for the tú command.
Correct: The affirmative tú imperative for regular -ar verbs ends in -a, so it's 'enrolla'.
Why: Learners might confuse it with the present indicative 'él/ella/usted' form or the negative imperative.
Mistake: Adding an 's' to the vosotros form, like 'enrolláis'.
Correct: The affirmative vosotros imperative for regular -ar verbs is formed by dropping the -r and adding -d: 'enrollad'.
Why: This is a common error for vosotros commands as the ending -d is dropped in other tenses.
