Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of imperative for commands.
Correct: Use the imperative forms: 'Traspasa' not 'Traspasas'.
Why: The imperative mood is specifically for commands, while the present indicative describes current actions.
Mistake: Confusing tú and usted forms.
Correct: Use 'Traspasa' for informal commands to one person and 'Traspase' for formal commands to one person.
Why: Spanish distinguishes between informal and formal address, and this carries over to the imperative.
