Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense instead of future.
Correct: Say 'Abandonaré el trabajo' for a future action, not 'Abandono el trabajo'.
Why: The present tense is for current actions or habits; the future tense is for actions yet to occur.
Mistake: Confusing future endings with conditional endings.
Correct: Future endings are -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án. Conditional endings are -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían.
Why: These endings are similar but signify different moods and tenses.
