Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense ('aclaro') instead of the future ('aclararé') for clear future actions.
Correct: For definite future actions, use the future tense: 'Aclararé mis planes' (I will clarify my plans), not 'Aclaro mis planes'.
Why: The present tense is for now or habits; the future tense is specifically for events that haven't happened yet.
Mistake: Confusing future endings with present indicative endings.
Correct: Remember the future endings: '-é', '-ás', '-á', '-emos', '-éis', '-án'. For example, 'aclarará' (he/she/you will clarify), not 'aclara' (he/she/you clarify).
Why: These endings are distinct and clearly mark the action as occurring in the future.
