Correct: Say 'Agitaré la botella esta noche' (I will shake the bottle tonight), not 'Agito la botella esta noche'.
Why: The future tense is specifically for actions that will occur in the future.
Mistake: Confusing the future stem with the infinitive.
Correct: The stem is 'agitar-', not just 'agita-'. The endings are added to the full infinitive.
