Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense to talk about a future action.
Correct: For clear future actions, use the future tense (e.g., 'Afrontaremos el problema la próxima semana').
Why: While the present can sometimes imply future, the dedicated future tense is clearer and more appropriate for planned or certain future events.
Mistake: Forgetting the accent on the future endings (e.g., 'afrontara' instead of 'afrontará').
Correct: Ensure accents are on the future endings: 'afrontará', 'afrontarás', etc.
Why: The accent marks the stressed syllable in these forms.
