Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense 'estaciono' instead of the future 'estacionaré'.
Correct: For a definite future action, use the future tense: 'Estacionaré mañana'.
Why: The present tense refers to now or habits, while the future tense specifically refers to what will happen.
Mistake: Dropping the infinitive stem 'estacionar' when adding endings.
Correct: The stem is the full infinitive 'estacionar' plus the future endings: 'estacionaré', 'estacionarás', etc.
Why: Unlike some verbs whose stems change in the future, 'estacionar' is regular and uses its full infinitive form.
