Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive instead of the subjunctive.
Correct: Use the present subjunctive: '¡No molestar!' is incorrect; it should be '¡No molestes!' or similar.
Why: Spanish commands, especially negative ones, require the subjunctive mood.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'no'.
Correct: Always include 'no' before the subjunctive verb form for a negative command.
Why: The 'no' is what turns a statement or subjunctive clause into a negative command.
