Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the future tense 'estacionaré' instead of the conditional 'estacionaría' for hypotheticals.
Correct: For 'would park', use the conditional 'estacionaría'.
Why: The future tense talks about what *will* happen, while the conditional talks about what *would* happen under certain conditions.
Mistake: Incorrectly applying irregular stem changes from other tenses to the conditional.
Correct: Estacionar is regular in the conditional, so use the full infinitive 'estacionar' as the stem: 'estacionaría'.
