Example sentences

- Yo facturo el trabajo — "I invoice the work"
- Él factura mil euros — "He invoices a thousand euros"

Common mistakes
- Wrong: Ellos factura mil euros — Right: Ellos facturan mil euros — Ellos needs the ellos form facturan. The singular factura belongs with él, ella or a singular noun.
- Wrong: Ayer, yo facturo — Right: Ayer, yo facturé — The present tense cannot describe a finished action yesterday. Ayer forces the preterite, so the form must change to facturé.
- Wrong: De niño, yo facturé todos los días. — Right: Todos los días, yo facturaba — For a repeated habit in the past, use the imperfect (facturaba), not the preterite. The preterite (facturé) is for one finished action.
- Wrong: Yo soy facturado cada mes. — Right: Yo he facturado cada mes. — Spanish perfect tenses use haber, not ser: he facturado, has facturado, ha facturado. Ser plus the participle makes a passive, not a perfect tense.
- Wrong: Espero que él factura mil euros. — Right: Espero que él facture mil euros. — After espero que, Spanish needs the subjunctive: facture. The indicative factura is wrong here.
