Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the imperative for commands.
Correct: Use 'suscita' (tú) or 'suscite' (usted), not 'suscitaste' or 'suscitó'.
Why: The imperative mood is specifically for commands, while the indicative describes facts or states.
Mistake: Confusing 'vosotros' and 'ustedes' forms.
Correct: In Spain, use 'suscitad' for 'vosotros'. For 'ustedes' (Latin America and formal Spain), use 'susciten'.
Why: These are distinct plural command forms for different address forms.
