Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the future tense instead of the conditional for hypotheticals.
Correct: Use 'denominaría' instead of 'denominaré' in 'if' clauses or hypothetical statements.
Why: The conditional is specifically for hypothetical or unreal situations, while the future refers to certain future events.
Mistake: Confusing conditional endings with future endings.
Correct: Conditional endings are '-ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían', while future endings are '-é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án'.
Why: These are distinct sets of endings that must be applied to the correct stem (infinitive for both regular verbs).
