Mistake: Using the infinitive: 'No jubilar a nadie'.
Correct: Use the subjunctive form: 'No jubiles a nadie'.
Why: Negative commands require the subjunctive mood.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'no'.
Correct: 'No jubiles' means 'Don't retire', while 'jubiles' alone is a present subjunctive clause (e.g., 'Espero que jubiles' - I hope you retire).
Why: The 'no' is crucial for turning a subjunctive clause into a negative command.
