Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the indicative instead of the subjunctive after expressions of doubt or desire.
Correct: Use 'Espero que transportes' not 'Espero que transportas'.
Why: Expressions of doubt, desire, and emotion trigger the subjunctive mood.
Mistake: Forgetting the 'que' after the main clause.
Correct: Ensure there's a 'que' connecting the main clause (e.g., 'Espero') to the subjunctive clause (e.g., 'transportes').
Why: The 'que' acts as a conjunction linking the two parts of the sentence.
