Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the subjunctive form like 'vislumbre' when addressing 'tú'.
Correct: For tú, use 'vislumbra'. 'Vislumbre' is for usted or el/ella.
Why: The imperative tú form for -ar verbs is the same as the present indicative él/ella/usted form, but without the final -a. The subjunctive tú form is different.
Mistake: Forgetting the vosotros imperative ending '-d'.
Correct: The vosotros form is 'vislumbrad', not 'vislumbre'.
Why: Regular -ar imperative verbs add '-d' to the stem for the vosotros form.
