Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the present subjunctive after expressions of doubt or desire.
Correct: Use 'Dudo que traspase' not 'Dudo que traspasa'.
Why: Expressions of doubt, desire, emotion, and uncertainty trigger the subjunctive mood in Spanish.
Mistake: Forgetting the accent on 'traspaséis' (vosotros).
Correct: The vosotros form is 'traspaséis', with an accent on the 'e'.
Why: The accent is needed to maintain the correct pronunciation and distinguish it from other potential forms.
