Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using 'normando' (gerund) instead of the present tense.
Correct: Use 'normo', 'normas', 'norma', etc., for present actions.
Why: The gerund describes an ongoing action but isn't a standalone verb form for simple present statements.
Mistake: Confusing 'normamos' (present) with 'normamos' (preterite).
Correct: Context will tell you if you're talking about a habitual action now or a completed action in the past.
Why: These two forms are identical, a common feature of regular -ar verbs.
