Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present subjunctive 'gestiones' instead of the imperative 'gestiona' for a command.
Correct: For a direct command to 'tú', use 'gestiona'. 'No gestiones' is for negative commands.
Why: The imperative mood is specifically for commands; the subjunctive has other uses like expressing wishes or doubts.
