Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense instead of the future, e.g., 'Mañana curo el resfriado'.
Correct: Use the future tense: 'Mañana curaré el resfriado'.
Why: For definite future actions, the future tense is preferred over the present.
Mistake: Confusing the future with the 'ir a + infinitive' construction, e.g., 'Curaré' vs 'Voy a curar'.
Correct: Both are possible, but 'curaré' sounds more certain or formal. 'Voy a curar' is common for near future plans.
Why: While similar, they carry slightly different nuances of certainty and immediacy.
