Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive with 'no', e.g., '¡No reportar la fuga!'
Correct: Use the correct negative imperative (present subjunctive) form: '¡No reportes la fuga!' (tú) or '¡No reporten la fuga!' (ustedes).
Why: Similar to affirmative commands, the infinitive isn't used for direct negative instructions.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'no', accidentally giving a positive command.
Correct: Always include 'no' before the subjunctive verb form for negative commands.
Why: The word 'no' is essential to change a command from positive to negative.
