Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the conditional for a definite future action.
Correct: For actions that *will* happen, use the future tense: 'El evento posibilitará la recaudación' (The event will make fundraising possible). Use the conditional for hypothetical or polite situations: 'El evento posibilitaría la recaudación si hubiera más asistentes' (The event would make fundraising possible if there were more attendees).
Why: The conditional expresses hypothetical outcomes or polite suggestions, not certain future events.
Mistake: Confusing the conditional with the imperfect subjunctive.
Correct: While both deal with hypotheticals, the conditional often follows 'if' clauses that are more likely ('Si tuviera tiempo, posibilitaría...') or expresses polite requests, whereas the imperfect subjunctive usually follows main clauses expressing doubt/desire about a past or present hypothetical ('Ojalá posibilitara...').
Why: They serve different grammatical functions, though both relate to non-factual scenarios.
