Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present subjunctive instead of the imperative for 'tú'.
Correct: The command is 'murmura', not 'murmures'.
Why: The 'tú' imperative for regular -ar verbs drops the -r and adds -a.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'vosotros' form.
Correct: Remember 'murmurad' for 'vosotros'.
Why: This form is specific to the vosotros imperative and doesn't follow the regular infinitive pattern.
