Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the simple present instead of the future.
Correct: For a future action, use 'interceptaré', not 'intercepto'.
Why: The present tense is for current actions; the future tense is specifically for events that will occur later.
Mistake: Confusing the future stem with a modified stem.
Correct: For regular -ar verbs like interceptar, the future stem is simply the infinitive: 'interceptar-'. So, 'interceptaré', not something like 'interceptiré'.
Why: Some verbs have irregular future stems, but interceptar does not, and learners might incorrectly apply irregular patterns.
