Correct: For clear future actions, use the future tense: 'Recitaré mañana'. Sometimes the present can imply future, but the future tense is more direct.
Why: While context can sometimes allow the present for future, using the dedicated future tense is clearer and more standard.
Mistake: Forgetting the accent on the future endings.
Correct: The endings have accents: 'recitaré', 'recitarás', 'recitará', etc.
Why: The accent marks the stress on the final vowel.
