Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense with 'ir a' (like 'voy a conservar') instead of the simple future.
Correct: Use the simple future forms like 'conservaré'.
Why: While 'ir a + infinitive' is common for near future, the simple future has its own uses and is often required in more formal contexts or for expressing probability.
Mistake: Forgetting the accent on the 'yo' and 'él/ella/usted' forms.
Correct: The forms are 'conservaré' and 'conservará'.
Why: The accent marks the stress on the final vowel.
