Why: The conditional expresses hypothetical outcomes, while the future expresses certainty or probability.
Mistake: Confusing conditional endings.
Correct: Ensure you use the correct conditional endings: -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían.
Why: These endings are distinct from other tenses and must be applied correctly to the infinitive stem.
