Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive with 'no' for commands.
Correct: Use 'no implementes' (tú), not 'no implementar'.
Why: Commands, positive or negative, require conjugated verb forms.
Mistake: Confusing negative imperative with imperfect subjunctive.
Correct: For negative commands, always use the present subjunctive (no implementes), not imperfect (no implementaras/implementaras).
Why: The negative imperative structure is fixed: 'no' + present subjunctive.
