Common Mistakes
Mistake: Confusing the conditional with the future tense.
Correct: Use the future 'agachará' for certainty; use the conditional 'agacharía' for hypotheticals or politeness.
Why: The future implies more certainty, while the conditional suggests a hypothetical or less definite outcome.
Mistake: Incorrectly forming the stem for the conditional tense.
Correct: The stem is the full infinitive 'agachar', not 'agach-'. So it's 'agacharía', not 'agacharía'.
Why: The conditional tense, like the future, uses the entire infinitive as its stem.
