Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the present subjunctive.
Correct: After expressions of doubt, desire, or emotion, use 'norme', 'normes', etc., not 'norma', 'normas'.

Mistake: Forgetting the subjunctive trigger.
Correct: Ensure the clause is introduced by a phrase that requires the subjunctive (e.g., 'Espero que...', 'Dudo que...', 'Quiero que...').
