Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the conditional for simple future actions.
Correct: For actions that *will* happen, use the future tense ('impartiré'). The conditional implies hypothesis or politeness.
Why: The conditional mood expresses hypothetical or less certain outcomes.
Mistake: Confusing the conditional 'impartiría' with the imperfect subjunctive 'impartiera'.
Correct: While both can express hypothetical situations, 'impartiría' is often used in the main clause ('I would teach') and 'impartiera' in the subordinate clause ('if you taught').
Why: These tenses have overlapping uses but distinct grammatical functions.
