Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the imperfect subjunctive instead of conditional for hypothetical results.
Correct: Use the conditional for the result: 'Me alarmaría si viera...'.
Why: The imperfect subjunctive sets up the condition ('if I saw'), and the conditional describes the hypothetical outcome ('I would be alarmed').
Mistake: Confusing conditional endings with future endings.
Correct: Conditional endings are '-ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían', while future endings are '-é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án'.
Why: They look similar but have distinct vowel sounds and spellings, leading to common errors.
