Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using 'ir a' + infinitive instead of the true future tense.
Correct: While 'ir a' + infinitive is common, the true future tense ('retiraré') is sometimes required for formality or to express stronger certainty. Use 'Me retiraré' for 'I will retire'.
Why: Both forms express future actions, but the simple future often sounds more definitive or formal.
Mistake: Incorrect placement of the reflexive pronoun: 'retiraré me' instead of 'me retiraré'.
Correct: With the future tense, the reflexive pronoun comes *before* the conjugated verb: 'me retiraré'.
Why: Pronoun placement rules vary depending on the verb form.
