Common Mistakes

  • Mistake: Using the present tense instead of the future for a definite future plan.

    Why: While the present can sometimes imply future, the future tense is more precise for clear future actions.

  • Mistake: Confusing future endings with conditional endings.

    Correct: Future endings are -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án; conditional endings are -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían.

    Why: They sound similar but express different ideas: future certainty vs. hypothetical conditions.
