Correct: After verbs of wishing, doubting, or emotion, use the subjunctive: 'Espero que impartas', not 'Espero que impartes'.
Why: The subjunctive mood is required to express subjectivity and uncertainty.
Mistake: Forgetting to change the ending for -ir verbs.
Correct: For -ir verbs in the present subjunctive, use -a endings: imparta, impartas, imparta, impartamos, impartáis, impartan.
