Common mistakes
- Wrong: Yo analiza los datos del experimento. — Right: Yo analizo los datos del experimento. — The person matters: analiza is the él/ella/Ud. form, while the yo form is analizo. Using the third-person form with yo is one of the most common beginner errors.
- Wrong: Yo analizé el texto en clase. — Right: Yo analicé el texto en clase. — In the preterite, the correct first-person form is analicé, not analizé. analizar is a spelling-change verb: z becomes c before e, so the written form changes to keep the same sound. The regular-looking form is wrong.
- Wrong: Treating analizar and estudiar as identical in every context. — Right: Analizar means to analyse, while estudiar means to study, the close verb. — They overlap, but each has uses the other does not: analizar fits sentences such as Analizo los datos del experimento, while estudiar belongs in a different sentence. Check the meaning you want before choosing.
- Wrong: Yo soy analizado el texto en clase. — Right: Yo he analizado el texto en clase. — Spanish perfect tenses use haber, not ser: he analizado, has analizado, ha analizado. Ser plus the participle makes a passive, not a perfect tense.
- Wrong: De niño, yo analicé la situación antes de decidir todos los días. — Right: De niño, yo analizaba la situación antes de decidir todos los días. — For a repeated habit in the past, use the imperfect (analizaba), not the preterite. The preterite (analicé) is for one finished action.

What is the difference between analizar and estudiar?
Analizar means to analyse, while estudiar means to study, the close verb.
