Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the conditional for a simple future action.
Correct: Use the future tense for certainty: 'Rajaremos el pastel' (We will split the cake). Use conditional for hypotheticals: 'Rajariamos el pastel si...' (We would split the cake if...).
Why: The conditional expresses uncertainty or hypothesis, while the future expresses certainty.
Mistake: Confusing conditional endings with future endings.
Correct: Conditional endings are '-ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían', while future endings are '-é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án'.
Why: These are distinct sets of endings for different moods and tenses.
