Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive after 'no', e.g., 'No reiniciar el teléfono'.
Correct: Use the present subjunctive: 'No reinicies el teléfono'.
Why: Negative commands in Spanish require the subjunctive mood, not the infinitive.
Mistake: Confusing the vosotros negative imperative with the affirmative, e.g., 'No reiniciad'.
Correct: The correct form is 'no reiniciéis'.
Why: The negative imperative for vosotros uses the subjunctive form, which has different vowel and accentuation changes compared to the affirmative.
