Common Mistakes
Mistake: Confusing conditional and future tenses.
Correct: Use 'repararía' for hypothetical 'would', and 'repararé' for definite future 'will'.
Why: The endings are different (-ía vs -é) and convey different meanings: possibility vs. certainty.
Mistake: Using the imperfect indicative instead of conditional in hypothetical clauses.
Correct: Use 'repararía' in the main clause when the condition uses the imperfect subjunctive (e.g., 'si tuviera').
Why: The conditional often pairs with the imperfect subjunctive to express 'would do' based on an 'if' condition.
