Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense instead of the future.
Correct: Use 'Maquinaré' for a future action, not 'Maquino'.
Why: The present tense refers to now or habitual actions, while the future tense specifically refers to what will happen later.
Mistake: Adding 'ir a' + infinitive and then conjugating the infinitive.
Correct: Say 'Voy a maquinar', not 'Voy a maquinaré'.
Why: The 'ir a' construction uses the infinitive form after 'a'; the future tense conjugates the infinitive itself.
