Mistake: Using the present tense for a specific, completed past action.
Correct: For completed past actions, use the preterite: 'inyectó'.
Why: The present is for now or habits, not for finished past events.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'yo' form accent: 'yo inyecto'.
Correct: The 'yo' form is 'inyecto', with no accent needed.
Why: Unlike the preterite, the present indicative 'yo' form of regular -ar verbs doesn't take an accent.
