Common Mistakes

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

  Correct: Use the conditional ('incrementaría') for hypothetical 'would' statements.

  Why: The future ('incrementará') states what *will* happen, while the conditional ('incrementaría') states what *would* happen under certain conditions.

• Mistake: Confusing conditional endings with imperfect endings.

  Correct: Conditional endings are '-ía', '-ías', '-ía', '-íamos', '-íais', '-ían', not '-aba' or '-ía' from the imperfect.

  Why: The endings look similar but have different meanings and uses.
