Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense to express a future action.
Correct: Use the future tense 'cosecharé' for future plans, not 'cosecho'.
Why: While Spanish sometimes uses the present for near future, the future tense is more direct and certain.
Mistake: Forgetting to use the infinitive as the stem.
Correct: The stem is 'cosechar-', not 'cosech-'. So it's 'cosecharé', not 'cosecharé'.
Why: Future tense stems are based on the infinitive form.
