Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative ('planeas') instead of the present subjunctive.
Correct: After verbs expressing hope, doubt, or emotion, use 'planees' (tú), 'planee' (él/ella/usted), etc.
Why: The subjunctive mood is necessary to convey subjectivity and uncertainty.
Mistake: Forgetting 'que' after the main clause.
Correct: Usually, you need 'que' to connect the main clause to the subjunctive clause: 'Espero que...' (I hope that...)
Why: The conjunction 'que' is typically required to link the two parts of the sentence when the subject changes.
