Common Mistakes
Mistake: Confusing the conditional ('conllevaría') with the future ('conllevará').
Correct: Use 'conllevaría' for hypothetical situations ('would entail') and 'conllevará' for definite future events ('will entail').
Why: The conditional expresses hypothetical or uncertain outcomes, while the future expresses certainty about the future.
Mistake: Using the imperfect subjunctive ('conllevara') when the conditional is needed.
Correct: For hypothetical outcomes in the present or future, use the conditional 'conllevaría'. Use the imperfect subjunctive for past hypotheticals or wishes.
Why: While both deal with hypotheticals, the conditional is used for the result clause in 'if' statements about the present/future, and the imperfect subjunctive is often in the 'if' clause itself or for past hypotheticals.
