Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense instead of the future for upcoming actions.
Correct: For clear future actions, use the future tense: 'Abriré la tienda mañana', not 'Abro la tienda mañana'.
Why: While the present can sometimes imply future, the future tense is more direct and appropriate for certainty.
Mistake: Forgetting the accent on the future endings.
Correct: The endings have accents: -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án. For example, 'abrirá', not 'abrira'.
Why: The accent is crucial for correct pronunciation and distinguishes future tense forms.
