Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the conditional for a definite future action.
Correct: Use the future tense 'Agitaré la pintura' (I will shake the paint), not the conditional 'Agitaría la pintura'.
Why: The conditional expresses hypotheticals or politeness, not certainty about the future.
Mistake: Confusing the conditional stem with the infinitive.
Correct: The stem is 'agitar-', not 'agita-'. The endings are added to the full infinitive.
Why: Similar to the future tense, the stem for regular verbs is the infinitive itself.
