Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense instead of the future: 'Mañana aumento el precio'.
Correct: 'Mañana aumentaré el precio'.
Why: For actions that will definitely happen in the future, the future tense is required, not the present.
Mistake: Confusing future and conditional: 'Si aumento el precio, venderé menos'.
Correct: 'Si aumento el precio, venderé menos' (present + future) or 'Si aumentara el precio, vendería menos' (imperfect subjunctive + conditional).
Why: The future tense is used for definite future actions, while the conditional is for hypothetical situations.
