Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense or 'ir a' + infinitive for future certainty.
Correct: While 'ir a' + infinitive is common for near future, the simple future tense ('rebelará') is used for more formal or distant future actions, and also for probability. 'Me voy a rebelar' is fine, but 'Me rebelaré' sounds more definitive or formal.
Why: The simple future tense carries a nuance of certainty or probability that 'ir a' + infinitive might not convey.
