Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive, like 'No interactuar'.
Correct: Use the subjunctive form: 'No interactúes'.
Why: Negative commands require the subjunctive mood.
Mistake: Confusing 'no interactúes' (tú) with 'no interactúes' (usted).
Correct: Both use 'interactúes', but the context (or adding 'tú'/'usted') clarifies who is being addressed.
Why: The él/ella/usted and tú forms are identical in the present subjunctive of -ar verbs.
