Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the imperfect subjunctive ('planeara') instead of the conditional for 'would'.
Correct: Use 'planearía' for 'would plan'. The imperfect subjunctive is typically used in 'if' clauses linked to the conditional.
Why: The conditional expresses the result ('would plan'), while the imperfect subjunctive often sets the condition ('if I planned').
Mistake: Confusing the conditional ending with the future ending.
Correct: Conditional endings are '-ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían', while future endings are '-é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án'.
Why: These endings are distinct and indicate different moods and tenses.
