Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the conditional for a definite future action.
Correct: Use the future tense ('resaltará') for definite future actions, and the conditional ('resaltaría') for hypotheticals.
Why: The conditional expresses hypothetical or uncertain outcomes, not guaranteed future events.
Mistake: Confusing the conditional endings with the imperfect subjunctive.
Correct: Conditional endings are -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían; imperfect subjunctive endings are -ra, -ras, -ra, -ramos, -rais, -ran.
Why: Both tenses can express hypothetical situations, but they have distinct forms and triggers.
