Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the future tense 'halaré' instead of the conditional 'halaría' for hypotheticals.
Correct: For hypothetical situations ('would'), use the conditional: 'Yo halaría'.
Why: The future tense states what *will* happen, while the conditional expresses what *would* happen under certain circumstances.
Mistake: Confusing conditional endings with future endings.
Correct: Conditional endings are different: '-ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían'. Future endings are '-é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án'.
Why: The vowel 'i' in the conditional endings is key.
