The 'E to I' Change
This word comes from the verb 'impedir.' In many forms, the 'e' in the middle changes to an 'i' when you stress that part of the word.
Talking about people
When 'impide' stops a person from doing something, we often use the word 'que' followed by a special 'wish/possibility' verb form (e.g., 'impide que yo vaya').
Adding 'from'
Mistake: “Using 'impide de' to mean 'prevents from'.”
Correction: Just say 'impide' followed by the action. Use 'impide salir' instead of 'impide de salir'.
