Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the present subjunctive.
Correct: Use 'Espero que repases' not 'Espero que repasas'.
Why: Expressions of hope, doubt, or emotion require the subjunctive mood, not the indicative.
Mistake: Forgetting the subjunctive ending for 'vosotros'.
Correct: The 'vosotros' form is 'repaséis', not 'repasais'.
Why: The subjunctive for 'vosotros' adds an accent and changes the ending to '-éis'.
