Mistake: Using the present tense instead of the future.
Correct: Use 'Fijaré la fecha' for future actions, not 'Fijo la fecha'.
Why: The present tense refers to current or habitual actions, while the future tense specifically denotes actions yet to occur.
Mistake: Confusing future and conditional.
Correct: 'Fijará' is future (will fix), while 'fijaría' is conditional (would fix).
Why: The future indicates certainty about a future action, while the conditional expresses hypothetical situations or polite requests.
