Common mistakes with vomitar in everyday use

Mistake 1

  • Wrong: Ellos vomita después de comer.
  • Right: Después de comer, ellos vomitan.
  • Why: Ellos needs the ellos form vomitan. The singular vomita belongs with él, ella or a singular noun.

Mistake 2

  • Wrong: Todos los días, yo vomité.
  • Right: Todos los días, yo vomito.
  • Why: Todos los días means every day, so the action is a habit and needs the present tense. The preterite is for one finished action, not for routines.

Mistake 3

  • Wrong: Yo soy vomitado por la noche.
  • Right: Yo he vomitado por la noche.
  • Why: Spanish perfect tenses use haber, not ser: he vomitado, has vomitado, ha vomitado.

Mistake 4

  • Wrong: Ayer, yo vomito.
  • Right: Ayer, yo vomité.
  • Why: Ayer means yesterday, so the action is finished and needs the preterite (vomité). The present (vomito) is for habits and for now.

Mistake 5

  • Wrong: Espero que él vomita después de comer.
  • Right: Espero que él vomite después de comer.
  • Why: After espero que, Spanish needs the present subjunctive: vomite. The indicative form would be wrong here.
