Common Mistakes

• Mistake: Using the conditional for a simple future action.

  Correct: For actions that *will* happen, use the future tense (e.g., 'Destinará el dinero'). Use conditional for 'would' scenarios (e.g., 'Destinaría el dinero si pudiera').

  Why: The future indicates certainty, while the conditional implies hypothesis or politeness.

• Mistake: Forgetting the accent on the conditional endings.

  Correct: All conditional endings have an accent on the 'i' (e.g., destinaría, destinaríais).

  Why: The accent indicates the stressed syllable.
