Common Mistakes
Mistake: Confusing the conditional with the future tense.
Correct: Use 'mudaría' (would move) for hypotheticals, not 'mudará' (will move).
Why: The conditional expresses possibility or hypothetical outcomes, whereas the future expresses certainty.
Mistake: Incorrectly adding endings to the wrong stem.
Correct: The conditional stem is the infinitive ('mudar-'), not a shortened stem.
Why: For regular verbs, the conditional stem is always the full infinitive.
