Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense ('coopero') instead of the future ('cooperaré') for a future action.
Correct: For definite future actions, use the future tense: 'cooperaré', 'cooperarás', etc.
Why: The present tense refers to current actions, not future ones, unless used as a near-future construction (which is less common in formal Spanish).
Mistake: Incorrectly shortening the infinitive stem.
Correct: The stem for the future tense is the full infinitive: 'cooperar-'.
Why: Unlike the conditional, the future tense uses the complete infinitive as its base.
