Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the present subjunctive.
Correct: After verbs expressing doubt, desire, or emotion, use 'rellene', 'rellenes', etc., not 'rellena' or 'rellenas'.
Why: The subjunctive mood is needed to express non-factual or subjective situations.
Mistake: Forgetting the subjunctive forms are different for 'yo' and 'él/ella/usted'.
Correct: The yo form is 'rellene', and the él/ella/usted form is also 'rellene'.
Why: In regular -ar verbs, the yo and él/ella/usted forms are the same in the present subjunctive.
