Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using 'ir a' + infinitive instead of the simple future.
Correct: While 'voy a entrevistar' is common, the simple future 'entrevistaré' is also correct and sometimes preferred for more formal or certain future actions.
Why: 'Ir a' + infinitive is a periphrastic future, very common in spoken Spanish but the simple future has its own uses and is often tested.
Mistake: Forgetting the accent on forms like 'entrevistará'.
Correct: Ensure the accent is on the 'á' in 'entrevistará' (él/ella/usted) and other third-person forms.
Why: The accent marks the stressed syllable in these future tense endings.
