Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the imperfect subjunctive incorrectly in the main clause: 'Yo frecuentaba ese lugar si pudiera'.
Correct: In a conditional sentence ('if X, then Y'), the 'if' clause often uses the imperfect subjunctive, but the main clause (the 'then' part) uses the conditional: 'Yo frecuentaría ese lugar si pudiera'.
Why: The conditional mood expresses the hypothetical result, while the imperfect subjunctive expresses the hypothetical condition.
