What kind of grammatical error appears in this sentence?
Es mejor que completas la tarea ahora.
Impersonal statements require verbs to be in the subjunctive mood. The sentence's second verb "completas" (from completar) is in the indicative mood, making it incorrect. To correct the sentence, one would need to replace "completas" with "completes," the second-person present subjunctive form of the verb completar.
English translation: "It would be better if you were to complete your homework now."
