Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the future tense instead of the conditional for hypotheticals.
Correct: Use 'proclamaría' for hypothetical situations, not 'proclamará'.
Why: The conditional expresses what *would* happen under certain conditions, while the future expresses what *will* happen.
Mistake: Confusing conditional with imperfect subjunctive.
Correct: Use 'proclamaría' for the result clause of a hypothetical ('I would proclaim...') and 'proclamara/proclamase' for the condition clause ('...if I proclaimed...').
Why: These tenses work together in hypothetical sentences, and learners often mix them up.
