Common Mistakes

• Mistake: Using the conditional 'recorrería' for a completed past action.

  Correct: For completed past actions, use the preterite: 'Ayer recorrí la ciudad'.

  Why: The conditional expresses hypothetical or uncertain actions, not factual past events.

• Mistake: Confusing the conditional 'recorrería' with the imperfect subjunctive 'recorriera'.

  Correct: While both can express hypotheticals, the conditional often follows 'would' in English ('I would travel'), while the imperfect subjunctive often follows 'if' ('If I traveled').

  Why: They have distinct grammatical functions, though they overlap in expressing unreal situations.
