Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense instead of the future.
Correct: Use 'expandiré/expandirán' for future certainty, not 'expando/expanden.'
Why: The present tense describes current actions, while the future tense specifically denotes events yet to occur.
Mistake: Confusing the future with the 'ir a + infinitive' construction.
Correct: Both 'expandiré' and 'voy a expandir' can mean 'I will expand,' but the simple future is often more formal or definitive.
Why: 'Ir a + infinitive' is more common in spoken Spanish for immediate future plans, while the simple future can express broader future actions or predictions.
