Common Mistakes
Mistake: Confusing conditional with future tense.
Correct: 'Coseré' means 'I will sew', while 'cosería' means 'I would sew'.
Why: These tenses have distinct meanings: certainty vs. conditionality/politeness.
Mistake: Using the wrong stem for irregular verbs (not applicable to 'coser').
Correct: 'Coser' is regular, so the stem is always 'coser-'.
Why: For regular verbs like 'coser', learners just need to remember the conditional endings.
