Mistake: Using the present tense instead of the future.
Correct: Use 'decoraré' for a future action, not 'decoro'.
Why: The present tense is for current or habitual actions, while the future tense is specifically for events that will occur later.
Mistake: Forgetting the infinitive stem.
Correct: The future stem for 'decorar' is 'decorar-', so it's 'decoraré', not something like 'decoreré'.
Why: Future tense endings are added to the infinitive for regular verbs.
