Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the imperfect subjunctive instead of the conditional for 'would'.
Correct: For 'would promote', use the conditional: 'promocionaría'. The imperfect subjunctive is used in specific hypothetical clauses ('Si promocionara...').
Why: Conditional expresses what *would* happen, while imperfect subjunctive often sets up the condition.
Mistake: Confusing conditional with future.
Correct: Future ('promocionaré') is for what *will* happen; conditional ('promocionaría') is for what *would* happen.
Why: They describe different scenarios: certainty vs. hypothetical/politeness.
