Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the conditional for a definite future action.
Correct: Use the future tense ('clausurará') for definite future events, and the conditional ('clausuraría') for hypotheticals or politeness.
Why: The conditional expresses non-factual or hypothetical scenarios, not certain future events.
Mistake: Confusing conditional endings with imperfect subjunctive endings.
Correct: Conditional endings are -ía, -ías, etc. Imperfect subjunctive endings are -ara/-ase, -aras/-ases, etc.
Why: Both are used in hypothetical contexts, but they are distinct grammatical forms.
