Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the future tense instead of the conditional for hypotheticals.
Correct: For 'would grant', use 'concedería', not 'concederá'.
Why: The future tense expresses certainty about the future, while the conditional expresses hypothetical or uncertain outcomes.
Mistake: Confusing the conditional with the imperfect subjunctive.
Correct: While both deal with hypotheticals, the conditional often describes the result ('I would grant'), while the imperfect subjunctive describes the condition ('if I were to grant').
Why: They work together in conditional sentences but have distinct functions and forms.
