Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the present subjunctive.
Correct: After expressions of doubt or desire like 'dudo que' or 'quiero que', use the subjunctive: 'dudo que reformen', not 'dudo que reforman'.
Why: The subjunctive mood is triggered by verbs and expressions that convey subjectivity, uncertainty, or desire.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'que' after certain verbs.
Correct: Many verbs that trigger the subjunctive require 'que' to connect to the subordinate clause: 'Espero que...' not 'Espero...'.
Why: The conjunction 'que' is necessary to link the main clause (expressing the emotion/doubt) to the subordinate clause (the action).
