Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative when the subjunctive is needed.
Correct: For expressions of doubt or desire like 'Dudo que...' or 'Quiero que...', use 'evada' (subjunctive), not 'evade' (indicative).
Why: The subjunctive mood is required after certain verbs and expressions that indicate uncertainty or subjectivity.
Mistake: Confusing 'evadimos' (present) with 'evadimos' (preterite).
Correct: Context usually clarifies whether 'evadimos' refers to a habitual action (present) or a completed one (preterite).
Why: Both the present and preterite tenses have the same form for 'nosotros'.
