Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the 'ir a + infinitive' construction instead of the simple future.
Correct: Use 'instaré', not 'voy a instar', when the context clearly implies simple future or probability.
Why: While 'ir a + infinitive' is common, the simple future has distinct uses for probability and more formal future statements.
Mistake: Forgetting to add the accent on future endings like '-ás', '-á'.
Correct: The correct forms are 'instarás' and 'instará'.
Why: These accents are required by Spanish orthography for future tense endings.
