Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense with 'ir a'.
Correct: While 'ir a' + infinitive (e.g., 'voy a acosar') is common for near future, the simple future ('acosaré') is also correct and sometimes preferred for more formal or distant future.
Why: Learners often overuse 'ir a' and forget the simple future exists and is regular for verbs like 'acosar'.
Mistake: Incorrectly forming the stem.
Correct: The stem is the full infinitive 'acosar-'; add endings like '-é', '-ás', '-á'.
Why: Some verbs have stem changes in the future, but 'acosar' does not.
