Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the future.
Correct: Use 'El curso estimulará tu interés' (future) not 'El curso estimula tu interés' (present) if you mean it will happen later.
Why: The present tense describes current or habitual actions, while the future tense specifically refers to events that will occur.
Mistake: Confusing the future and conditional endings.
Correct: The future ending for 'yo' is '-é' (estimularé), not '-ía' (which is conditional: estimularía).
Why: These endings are distinct and indicate different grammatical moods/tenses.
