Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the present subjunctive after expressions of doubt or desire.
Correct: Use the subjunctive: 'Dudo que reafirme' not 'Dudo que reafirma'.
Why: Expressions of doubt, uncertainty, emotion, and desire trigger the subjunctive mood in Spanish.
Mistake: Forgetting the correct subjunctive endings for -ar verbs.
Correct: The present subjunctive endings for -ar verbs are -e, -es, -e, -emos, -éis, -en. So, 'reafirme', 'reafirmes', etc.
Why: Mixing up indicative and subjunctive endings is common, but the subjunctive has its own distinct set of conjugations.
