Common Mistakes

• Mistake: Using the conditional for a definite future action.

  Correct: Use the future tense ('relevará') for actions that *will* happen, not the conditional ('relevaría') which implies uncertainty or hypothesis.

  Why: The conditional expresses hypothetical or uncertain outcomes, while the future expresses certainty.

• Mistake: Confusing conditional endings with future endings.

  Correct: Remember that conditional endings are based on the imperfect ('-ía', '-ías', etc.), while future endings are based on the present ('-é', '-ás', etc.).

  Why: These are distinct tenses with different meanings and sets of endings.
