Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present subjunctive ('omitas') when the indicative ('omites') is needed.
Correct: For factual statements or habits, use the indicative: 'tú omites'.
Why: The subjunctive is used for uncertainty, desires, etc., not for describing regular actions or facts.
Mistake: Confusing 'omitimos' (present) with 'omitimos' (preterite).
Correct: Context will clarify if 'omitimos' refers to the present action ('we omit') or a completed past action ('we omitted').
Why: The nosotros form is identical in both present and preterite indicative for regular -ir verbs.
