Common Mistakes
Mistake: Confusing conditional with future.
Correct: The conditional expresses hypothetical ('would') or polite actions, while the future expresses certainty ('will'). 'Reformaría' (I would renovate) vs. 'Reformaré' (I will renovate).
Why: These tenses describe different types of future or hypothetical actions, and mixing them changes the meaning significantly.
Mistake: Using the infinitive stem incorrectly.
Correct: The conditional stem for 'reformar' is the full infinitive 'reformar-'. Add the conditional endings: 'reformar-ía'.
Why: Some verbs have irregular stems in the conditional (like 'tener' -> 'tendría'), but 'reformar' is regular.
