Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense instead of the future.
Correct: Use 'comprometeré', 'comprometerá', etc. for future actions.
Why: The present tense describes current actions, while the future tense specifically refers to events that will occur later.
Mistake: Using the infinitive with 'ir a'.
Correct: The simple future uses the infinitive as the stem: 'comprometeré'. The construction 'ir a + infinitive' is 'voy a comprometer'.
Why: Learners might confuse the simple future formation with the 'ir a' future construction.
