Always Feminine Plural

Using the wrong article
Mistake: “Los conexiones”
Correction: Las conexiones. Because the word ends in '-ión' (conexión), it is feminine, so you must use 'las'.

Dual Function of 'une'
The form 'une' does two main jobs: it says what 'he, she, or it' is doing now (Present Tense), and it gives an informal command to 'you' (tú command).
Regular -IR Verb
The verb 'unir' is very predictable! It follows the standard pattern for verbs that end in -ir, making its conjugations easy to learn.
Confusing Present and Imperative
Mistake: “Using 'une' when giving a formal command (usted).”
