Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the imperfect subjunctive instead of conditional for hypothetical 'would'.
Correct: Use the conditional: 'Yo moraría'.
Why: While imperfect subjunctive is used in 'if' clauses for hypotheticals, the main clause describing the consequence ('I would dwell') uses the conditional.
Mistake: Confusing conditional endings with future endings.
Correct: Conditional endings are -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían; future endings are -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án.
Why: These endings are distinct and convey different meanings (hypothetical vs. factual future).
