Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the present subjunctive after expressions of doubt or desire.
Correct: After phrases like 'Dudo que...' or 'Quiero que...', you must use the subjunctive: 'Dudo que enrollen', not 'Dudo que enrollan'.
Why: These trigger phrases signal uncertainty or a desired outcome, requiring the subjunctive mood.
Mistake: Using the wrong vowel in the subjunctive ending.
Correct: For regular -ar verbs like enrollar, the present subjunctive uses 'e' endings: 'enrolle', 'enrolles', 'enrollen'.
Why: This is a common confusion point for learners; indicative uses 'a' endings ('enrolla'), while subjunctive uses 'e' endings ('enrolle').
