Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive instead of the subjunctive.
Correct: Say 'No mudar' is incorrect; use 'No mudes' (for tú) or 'No mude' (for usted).
Why: Negative commands require the present subjunctive, not the infinitive.
Mistake: Confusing 'tú' and 'usted' negative commands.
Correct: Remember 'tú' is 'no mudes' and 'usted' is 'no mude'.
Why: The endings are different for the second person singular informal and formal.
