Common mistakes
- Wrong: Yo asesora a la empresa en la compra. — Right: Yo asesoro a la empresa en la compra. — The person matters: asesora is the él/ella/Ud. form, while the yo form is asesoro. Using the third-person form with yo is one of the most common beginner errors.
- Wrong: Ayer yo asesoro al cliente sobre sus impuestos. — Right: Ayer yo asesoré al cliente sobre sus impuestos. — The present and the preterite are different tenses: asesoro is happening now, while asesoré is a finished action in the past. Use the preterite with ayer.
- Wrong: Treating asesorar and aconsejar as identical in every context. — Right: Asesorar means to advise, while aconsejar means to advise, in everyday life. — They overlap, but each has uses the other does not: asesorar fits sentences such as Asesoro a la empresa en la compra, while aconsejar belongs in a different sentence. Check the meaning you want before choosing.
- Wrong: Yo soy asesorado al cliente sobre sus impuestos. — Right: Yo he asesorado al cliente sobre sus impuestos. — Spanish perfect tenses use haber, not ser: he asesorado, has asesorado, ha asesorado. Ser plus the participle makes a passive, not a perfect tense.
- Wrong: De niño, yo asesoré a los estudiantes en su carrera todos los días. — Right: De niño, yo asesoraba a los estudiantes en su carrera todos los días. — For a repeated habit in the past, use the imperfect (asesoraba), not the preterite. The preterite (asesoré) is for one finished action.
