Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense instead of the future.
Correct: Use 'Pesaremos mañana' not 'Pesamos mañana'.
Why: The present tense describes current actions, while the future tense is needed for actions happening later.
Mistake: Confusing future and conditional for probability.
Correct: Use 'pesará' (future) for present probability, e.g., 'Pesará 70 kilos' (He probably weighs 70 kilos).
Why: The future tense can express conjecture about the present, while the conditional is used for conjecture about the past or future-in-the-past.
