Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the subjunctive instead of imperative for commands.
Correct: Use imperative forms like 'limita' or 'limiten' for direct commands, not 'limites' or 'limiten' (which is subjunctive).
Why: The imperative mood is specifically for commands. The subjunctive has other uses (wishes, doubts).
Mistake: Forgetting the accent on 'Límita' (tú).
Correct: The tú imperative form is 'Límita' with an accent on the 'i'.
Why: The accent is required to mark the stress on the correct syllable in this imperative form.
