Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense instead of the future.
Correct: For actions that will happen, use the future: 'Perforaré...', not 'Perforo...'.
Why: The present tense refers to the now or habits, while the future specifically points to a time yet to come.
Mistake: Confusing future with conditional.
Correct: Use 'perforará' for a future certainty ('He will pierce') and 'perforaría' for a hypothetical ('He would pierce').
Why: They have different meanings: certainty vs. hypothetical or polite request.
