Correct: Use 'Entonaré mañana' (I will sing tomorrow), not 'Entono mañana'.
Why: While Spanish sometimes uses the present for near future, the future tense is clearer for definite future plans.
Mistake: Forgetting the accent on future endings like 'entonas'.
Correct: The future endings for tú, él/ella/usted, and ellos/ellas/ustedes all have accents: entonarás, entonará, entonarán.
Why: These accents are mandatory for correct spelling and pronunciation.
