Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the future instead of the conditional: 'El presidente deportará si hay crisis'.
Correct: For hypothetical situations ('if... then would'), use the conditional: 'El presidente deportaría si hubiera crisis'.
Why: The conditional expresses hypothetical outcomes, while the future expresses predictions.
Mistake: Confusing the conditional with the imperfect subjunctive: 'Si deportaría...'.
Correct: In 'if' clauses expressing hypothetical past or present conditions, use the imperfect subjunctive: 'Si deportara...'. The conditional follows: '...deportaría'.
Why: Spanish grammar requires the imperfect subjunctive in the 'if' clause of hypothetical sentences, followed by the conditional in the main clause.
