Correct: Say 'aparentará' for 'he will seem', not 'aparenta'.
Why: The present tense describes current actions, while the future tense describes actions that will happen later.
Mistake: Dropping the 'r' from the infinitive stem.
Correct: The stem is 'aparentar-', so the 'r' stays. It's 'aparentarás', not 'apentaás'.
