Common Mistakes
Mistake: Forgetting the 'no'.
Correct: Always add 'no' before the subjunctive verb for negative commands.
Why: The 'no' is essential to turn a positive command into a negative one.
Mistake: Using the infinitive instead of the subjunctive.
Correct: Use 'no traspasar' when the subject is implied and general (like 'Don't smoke'), but use subjunctive forms for specific people: 'No traspases'.
Why: While 'no + infinitive' is used for general prohibitions (like on signs), specific commands require the subjunctive.
