Common Mistakes

• Mistake: Using the future tense instead of the conditional.

  Correct: Use 'fundaría' for 'I would found', not 'fundaré'.

  Why: The future tense indicates certainty ('will'), while the conditional indicates hypothesis or politeness ('would').

• Mistake: Confusing conditional endings with imperfect endings.

  Correct: The conditional ending for 'yo' is '-ía' (fundaría), not '-aba' (fundaba).

  Why: The imperfect describes past actions/descriptions, while the conditional describes hypothetical or polite actions.
