Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense instead of the future.
Correct: For definite future actions, use the future tense: 'Alejaré', not 'Alejo'.
Why: While the present tense can sometimes imply future, the dedicated future tense is clearer for planned or certain future events.
Mistake: Confusing the future endings with conditional endings.
Correct: Future endings are -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án. Conditional endings are -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían.
Why: The endings look similar but have different meanings ('will' vs. 'would').
