Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive 'internar' instead of a command form.
Correct: Use 'interna' for tú, 'interne' for usted, etc.
Why: The infinitive is the base form of the verb and isn't used for direct commands.
Mistake: Confusing 'interna' (tú imperative) with 'interna' (él/ella/usted present indicative).
Correct: Context usually clarifies, but for a clear command, ensure the situation implies an order.
Why: These forms look identical, so the surrounding sentence is key to understanding if it's a statement or a command.
