Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the present subjunctive.
Correct: After 'espero que', use 'juntes' (subjunctive), not 'juntas' (indicative).
Why: Expressions of hope, doubt, and emotion trigger the subjunctive mood.
Mistake: Forgetting that 'juntemos' is used for both affirmative 'let's' commands and present subjunctive 'we'.
Correct: Use 'juntemos' in 'Let's join' and 'We hope to join'.
Why: The form is identical, but the context dictates the mood (imperative vs. subjunctive).
