Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the imperfect tense instead of the preterite for a single, completed merge.
Correct: Use the preterite: 'Fusioné los documentos' (I merged the documents) for a completed action.
Why: The preterite marks specific, finished actions, while the imperfect describes ongoing or habitual past actions.
Mistake: Forgetting the accent on forms like 'fusionó' or 'fusioné'.
Correct: Remember the accent mark: 'fusionó' and 'fusioné'.
Why: The accent indicates the stressed syllable and distinguishes these forms, especially 'fusionó' from the imperfect 'fusionaba'.
