Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive instead of the imperative, like 'Trasladar la mesa'.
Correct: Use the correct imperative form, e.g., 'Traslada la mesa' (tú) or 'Traslade la mesa' (usted).
Why: The infinitive is the base form of the verb, not a command.
Mistake: Confusing 'traslada' (tú imperative) with 'traslada' (él/ella/usted present indicative).
Correct: In context, 'Traslada el sofá' can be a command to 'you' or a statement about 'him/her/it'. Add context or use a pronoun if needed to clarify.
