Mistake: Using the present tense or 'ir a' + infinitive instead of the future.
Correct: For a definite future action, use 'inflaré', not 'infla' or 'voy a inflar'.
Why: While 'ir a' + infinitive is common for near future, the simple future tense expresses a more direct or distant future action.
Mistake: Forgetting the accent on 'inflaréis' for vosotros.
Correct: The correct form is 'inflaréis', with an accent on the 'é'.
Why: The accent is required for correct pronunciation and stress in this form.
