Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the subjunctive mood when the indicative is needed for a statement of fact.

Why: The indicative is used for facts and certainty, while the subjunctive is for doubt, wishes, emotions, etc.
Mistake: Incorrectly conjugating the 'vosotros' form.
Correct: The 'vosotros' present indicative form is 'reafirmáis', with an accent on the 'i'.
