Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the affirmative imperative instead of the negative subjunctive.
Correct: For negative commands, always use 'no' followed by the present subjunctive form (e.g., 'no remes').
Why: The structure for negative commands is consistently 'no' + present subjunctive.
Mistake: Confusing vosotros negative imperative with tú.
Correct: The vosotros negative command is 'no reméis', not 'no remes'.
Why: The vosotros present subjunctive form ends in -éis, distinct from the tú form ending in -es.
