Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the imperfect subjunctive instead of conditional for 'would'.
Correct: For 'would establish,' use the conditional: 'implantaría'.
Why: The conditional expresses what *would* happen, often as a result of a condition, while the imperfect subjunctive is used in the 'if' clause itself for hypotheticals.
Mistake: Confusing conditional with future tense.
Correct: The future ('implantará') states what *will* happen, while the conditional ('implantaría') states what *would* happen.
Why: These tenses have distinct meanings: certainty about the future versus hypothetical or polite suggestions.
