Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the conditional for a simple future action.
Correct: For definite future actions, use the future tense ('desalojaré'), not conditional ('desalojaría').
Why: The conditional implies uncertainty, hypothesis, or politeness, not a straightforward future event.
Mistake: Confusing conditional with imperfect subjunctive.
Correct: Use 'desalojaría' for 'would evict' and 'desalojara' for 'if I were to evict'.
Why: They express different hypothetical scenarios: conditional for outcomes, imperfect subjunctive often for conditions.
