Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense to express a future action.
Correct: For a definite future action, use the future tense: 'Recompensaré' not 'Recompenso'.
Why: While the present can sometimes imply future, the future tense is more precise for planned or certain future events.
Mistake: Forgetting the accent on the future endings.
Correct: All future endings carry an accent: 'recompensaré', 'recompensarás', 'recompensará', 'recompensaremos', 'recompensaréis', 'recompensarán'.
Why: The accent is crucial for correct pronunciation and distinguishes future forms from other verb forms.
