Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the infinitive 'vendar' instead of a conjugated imperative form.
Correct: Use 'venda', 'vende', 'vendamos', 'vendad', or 'venden' depending on who you're talking to.
Why: The infinitive is not used for direct commands; you need the specific imperative conjugation.
Mistake: Confusing 'vende' (tú imperative) with 'vende' (él/ella/usted present subjunctive).
Correct: The tú imperative is 'vende'. The él/ella/usted present subjunctive is also 'vende'. Context usually clarifies, but for direct commands, 'vende' is correct.
Why: While the forms look the same, the context of a direct command makes 'vende' the imperative.
