Mistake: Confusing the conditional 'lucharía' with the imperfect 'luchaba'.
Correct: 'Lucharía' expresses a hypothetical 'would fight', while 'luchaba' describes a past action 'was fighting' or 'used to fight'.
Why: These tenses have distinct meanings and grammatical functions.
Mistake: Using the future tense ('lucharé') instead of the conditional ('lucharía') for hypotheticals.
