Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the subjunctive instead of the imperative for tú commands.
Correct: For 'expulsar', the command is 'expulsa', not 'expulses'.
Why: The tú imperative for regular -ar verbs is formed from the 'yo' present indicative form minus '-o' and adding '-a', not from the present subjunctive.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'vosotros' form.
Correct: The 'vosotros' command is 'expulsad'.
Why: This form is specific to Spain and uses the '-ad' ending for regular -ar verbs.
