Galician PAU Language and Literature II: foundations common mistakes
Galician PAU Language and Literature II: foundations · Understand the traps and how to avoid them.
Treating a future reference as a future-subjunctive form
A present subjunctive may refer to a later event without changing its morphological tense.
What to do instead
Identify the actual verb form as well as its meaning in context.
Selecting a pronoun from an English gloss alone
Direct and indirect object relationships depend on the actual Galician governing construction.
What to do instead
Identify participants and their functions before choosing te, che or a combined form.
Strengthening a limited statement into a universal one
Algunhas and pode restrict scope, so replacing them with all or guarantees alters the evidence.
What to do instead
Preserve quantifiers and modality when summarizing.
Listing devices without interpretation
A device label does not explain how the particular wording contributes to meaning.
What to do instead
Cite an example and connect its effect with a supported reading.
Using connectors to conceal unsupported logic
A consequential expression cannot prove that the preceding evidence establishes a consequence.
What to do instead
Test the relationship before adding por tanto or a similar link.
Inventing statistics for an opinion response
A convincing-looking percentage remains invented evidence without a source or an explicit hypothetical premise.
What to do instead
Use supplied data accurately or label an example as hypothetical.
Memorizing corrupted literary titles
A plausible-sounding title can refer to no actual work and distort an author’s literary context.
What to do instead
Verify author, title and genre through reliable literary sources.
Equating normalization with complete legal or social equality
Social use, normative conventions and particular legal rights are related but different issues.
What to do instead
Identify the relevant concept and consult the actual legal source for legal claims.
