Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the imperative for commands, e.g., 'Tú reinicias el router'.
Correct: Use the imperative form: 'Tú reinicia el router'.
Why: The imperative is specifically for commands, while the present indicative describes current actions.
Mistake: Forgetting the accent on 'reiniciad' (vosotros).
Correct: The correct form is 'reiniciad'.
Why: When forming the vosotros imperative for -ar verbs, you drop the 'r' and add 'd'. The stress naturally falls on the last syllable.
