Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive 'normar' instead of the imperative.
Correct: Use 'norma' (tú) or 'norme' (usted) for commands.
Why: The infinitive is the base form of the verb and isn't used for direct commands.
Mistake: Confusing 'norma' (tú imperative) with 'norma' (él/ella/usted present indicative).
Correct: Context is key. If you are commanding someone, it's the imperative.
Why: While the form is identical, the intent (command vs. statement) is different.
