Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the subjunctive form instead of the imperative for commands.
Correct: For a direct command like 'Fracture this!', use 'Fractura' (tú), not 'Fractures'.
Why: The imperative mood is specifically for commands, while the subjunctive is for wishes, doubts, etc.
Mistake: Forgetting to drop the 'r' and add 'd' for the vosotros imperative.
Correct: It should be 'fracturad', not 'fracturar' or 'fracturad't'.
Why: The vosotros imperative form is created by dropping the infinitive '-r' and adding '-d'.
