'Let me' vs. 'Leave me'
Mistake: “Confusing the two main meanings. For example, saying "Déjame ir al restaurante" (Let me go to the restaurant) when you mean "Déjame en el restaurante" (Leave me at the restaurant / Drop me off at the restaurant).”
Correction: Remember: if another action follows (like 'ir', 'ver', 'hablar'), it usually means 'let me'. If a place or an object follows, it usually means 'leave me'.
