Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense instead of the future.
Correct: For a definite future action, use the future tense: 'Coleccionaré los sellos mañana', not 'Colecciono los sellos mañana'.
Why: The present tense usually refers to current actions, while the future tense specifically indicates events yet to occur.
Mistake: Confusing future endings with present endings.
Correct: Remember the future endings: '-é', '-ás', '-á', '-emos', '-éis', '-án'.
Why: These endings are distinct from present tense endings and must be applied to the future stem (the infinitive).
