Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present subjunctive for a statement of fact.
Correct: Use 'El dice que reitera' (present indicative), not 'El dice que reitere'.
Why: When stating a fact or belief (even if you disagree), use the indicative. The subjunctive is for uncertainty, wishes, etc.
Mistake: Confusing 'reiteramos' (present) with 'reiteramos' (preterite).
Correct: Look for time clues. 'Hoy reiteramos' is present, 'Ayer reiteramos' is preterite.
Why: The nosotros form is identical in both tenses, requiring context to differentiate.
