Mistake: Using the gerund ('enrollando') instead of the simple present for habitual actions.
Correct: For habits, use the simple present: 'Ella enrolla...' not 'Ella está enrollando...'.
Why: The gerund ('estar + -ndo') emphasizes an action in progress, not a routine.
Mistake: Confusing 'enrollamos' (present) with 'enrollamos' (preterite).
Correct: The 'nosotros' form is the same in the present indicative and the preterite. Context usually clarifies the meaning.
