✕Common Mistakes
Preparar tus preguntas.
The infinitive ‘preparar’ does not give a command; you need the imperative ‘Prepara’.
Prepara sus preguntas.
‘sus’ is formal/plural; if you’re speaking informally you should use ‘tus’. Using ‘sus’ can sound overly formal or distant.
Prepara tu pregunta.
If you have more than one question, the noun must be plural: ‘preguntas’. Using the singular changes the meaning.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking cultures, showing up prepared is seen as a sign of respect. The informal imperative ‘Prepara…’ is perfectly natural among friends, classmates, or colleagues, but in a formal business setting you might prefer the polite form ‘Prepare sus preguntas.’
