Common Mistakes

• Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the future.

  Correct: For definite future actions, use the future tense: 'Protesto mañana' is incorrect; use 'Protestaré mañana'.

  Why: The present indicative refers to current actions, while the future tense specifically denotes events that will occur later.

• Mistake: Confusing future with conditional.

  Correct: Use future for what *will* happen ('Protestará') and conditional for what *would* happen ('Protestaría').

  Why: The future expresses certainty or probability of a future event, while the conditional expresses hypothetical or uncertain outcomes.
