Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the present subjunctive after doubt or emotion.
Correct: When expressing doubt ('dudo que') or emotion ('espero que'), use the present subjunctive form ('impacte', 'impactes', etc.).
Why: The subjunctive mood is required to convey subjectivity, doubt, or emotion in Spanish.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'que' after trigger phrases.
Correct: Phrases like 'espero que', 'dudo que', 'quiero que' require 'que' before the subjunctive verb.
Why: The 'que' connects the main clause expressing the emotion/doubt to the subordinate clause with the subjunctive verb.
