Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense instead of the future tense for a future action.
Correct: For actions that will definitely happen in the future, use the future tense: 'Asignaré el trabajo', not 'Asigno el trabajo'.
Why: The present tense is for current or habitual actions; the future tense is specifically for actions that will occur later.
Mistake: Confusing future and conditional forms.
Correct: The future is 'asignará' (he/she will assign), the conditional is 'asignaría' (he/she would assign).
Why: These tenses have different meanings and endings, though they share similar stem structures.
