Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the future tense ('impactará') instead of the conditional ('impactaría') for hypothetical 'would' statements.
Correct: For 'would impact', use the conditional 'impactaría'. The future tense is for 'will impact'.
Why: The conditional expresses hypothetical or uncertain outcomes, fitting the 'would' meaning.
Mistake: Confusing the conditional with the imperfect subjunctive.
Correct: While both deal with hypotheticals, the conditional often describes the *result* of a hypothetical condition ('I would impact...'), while the imperfect subjunctive often introduces the condition itself ('if I impacted...').
Why: They work together but have distinct roles in expressing hypothetical scenarios.
