Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the future tense instead of the conditional for hypothetical situations.
Correct: Use 'me masturbaría' for 'I would masturbate', not 'me masturbaré'.
Why: The conditional is used for hypothetical or uncertain outcomes, while the future is for more certain events.
Mistake: Confusing the conditional ending '-ía' with the imperfect ending '-ía' for él/ella/usted.
Correct: Both are 'masturbaría', but context clarifies if it's a hypothetical ('would') or a description/habit ('used to').
Why: This is a common point of confusion for regular -ar verbs in the imperfect and conditional.
