Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present subjunctive instead of the imperative for tú.
Correct: The correct tú command is 'reforma', not 'reformes'.
Why: The imperative tú form for regular -ar verbs drops the final -r and adds -a.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'no' before negative commands.
Correct: Always use 'no' before the verb in negative commands (e.g., 'no reformes').
Why: Spanish negative commands are formed using the present subjunctive, which requires 'no' to negate the command.
