Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive 'facilitar' instead of conjugating.
Correct: Conjugate the verb according to the subject: 'facilito', 'facilitas', 'facilita', etc.
Why: The infinitive is the base form and cannot be used directly as the main verb in a sentence.
Mistake: Confusing 'facilitamos' (present) with 'facilitamos' (preterite).
Correct: Context usually clarifies whether 'facilitamos' refers to a present habitual action or a completed past action.
Why: The conjugation is identical in both tenses for the 'nosotros' form of regular -ar verbs.
